"‘sockaddr_in’ undeclared (first use in this function)" error despite including the requisite headers

void * get_in_addr(struct sockaddr *sa){
    if(sa->sa_family == AF_INET){
            return &((sockaddr_in *)sa)->sin_addr;
    }
    else if(sa->sa_family == AF_INET6){
            return &((sockaddr_in6 *)sa)->sin6_addr;
    }
}

I am using the sockaddr_in struct in my code to chekc whether an incoming connection is an IPv4 or an IPV6 address. I get the error "‘sockaddr_in’ undeclared (first use in this function)" here despite including the netinet/in.h header in my code. Is there something that I am not seeing here?

Answer 1

sockaddr_in is not typedef, so try using it with struct like following

(struct sockaddr_in *)
