Re: [Boost-users] How to get the port number and the address of a boost::asio::ip::tcp:acceptor object

What do you mean by "port number and ip address of an acceptor"? If
you want to know the address of your local "endpoint", then you can
get it:

boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint = acceptor.local_endpoint();

then get its address and port:
endpoint.address();
endpoint.port();

But if you want to get the address of your peer, then you can get it
from accept() or async_accept() -- please see their descriptions.

P.S. IMHO, asio has *very* clear, readable, and useful manual, and I'm
sure you could find there aswers to most of your questions:
