    No name resolution will be attempted.
    
    Parameters:
    
    port - the port
    
    host - the host
    
    Returns:
    
    the created socket address
  - domainSocketAddress
```
static SocketAddress domainSocketAddress(String path)

  - inetSocketAddress
```
static SocketAddress inetSocketAddress(InetSocketAddress address)
```
    Create a inet socket address from a Java InetSocketAddress.
    No name resolution will be attempted.
    
    Parameters:
    
    address - the address
    
    Returns:
    
    the created socket address
  - host
```
String host()
```
    Returns the host name when available or the IP address in string representation.
    Domain socket address returns null.
    
    Returns:
    
    the host address
  - hostName
```
