ARES_INET_PTON
Section: C Library Functions (3) Updated: 17 Feb 2013 Index
Return to Main Contents
NAME
ares_inet_pton - convert an IPv4 or IPv6 address from text to binary form
SYNOPSIS
#include <ares.h>
int ares_inet_pton(int af, const char *src, void *dst);
DESCRIPTION
This is a portable version with the identical functionality of the commonly
available inet_pton.
The ares_inet_pton() function converts the address in its standard text
presentation form into its numeric binary form. The af argument shall
specify the family of the address. The AF_INET and AF_INET6 address families
shall be supported. The src argument points to the string being passed
in. The dst argument points to a buffer into which the function stores
the numeric address; this shall be large enough to hold the numeric address
(32 bits for AF_INET, 128 bits for AF_INET6).
It returns 1 if the address was valid for the specified address family, or 0
if the address was not parseable in the specified address family, or-1 if
some system error occurred (in which case errno will have been set).
