## Initialization methods.

    ACE_DEV_Addr (void);

Default constructor.

    ACE_DEV_Addr (const ACE_DEV_Addr &sa);

Copy constructor.

    int set (const ACE_DEV_Addr &sa);

Acts like a copy constructor.

    ACE_DEV_Addr (LPCTSTR devname);

Create a ACE_DEV_Addr from a device name.

    void set (LPCTSTR devname);

Create a ACE_Addr from a ACE_DEV pathname.

    ACE_DEV_Addr &operator= (const ACE_DEV_Addr &);

Assignment operator.

    virtual void *get_addr (void) const;

Return a pointer to the address.

    virtual int addr_to_string (wchar_t *addr, size_t) const;

Transform the current address into string format.

    virtual int addr_to_string (char *addr, size_t) const;

Transform the current address into string format.

    int operator == (const ACE_DEV_Addr &SAP) const;

Compare two addresses for equality.

    int operator != (const ACE_DEV_Addr &SAP) const;

Compare two addresses for inequality.

    LPCTSTR get_path_name (void) const;

Return the path name used for the rendezvous point.

    void dump (void) const;

Dump the state of an object.

    ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE;

Declare the dynamic allocation hooks.
