NAME
inet_ntop − convert IPv4 and IPv6 addresses from binary to text form
SYNOPSIS
#include <arpa/inet.h>
const char
*inet_ntop(int af, const void
*src,
char *dst, socklen_t
size);
DESCRIPTION
This function converts the network address structure src in the af address family into a character string. The resulting string is copied to the buffer pointed to by dst, which must be a non-null pointer. The caller specifies the number of bytes available in this buffer in the argument size.
inet_ntop()
extends the inet_ntoa(3) function to support multiple
address families, inet_ntoa(3) is now considered to
be deprecated in favor of inet_ntop(). The following
address families are currently supported:
AF_INET
src points to a struct in_addr (in network byte order) which is converted to an IPv4 network address in the dotted-decimal format, "ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd". The buffer dst must be at least INET_ADDRSTRLEN bytes long.
AF_INET6
src points to a struct in6_addr (in network byte order) which is converted to a representation of this address in the most appropriate IPv6 network address format for this address. The buffer dst must be at least INET6_ADDRSTRLEN bytes long.
RETURN VALUE
On success, inet_ntop() returns a non-null pointer to dst. NULL is returned if there was an error, with errno set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EAFNOSUPPORT
af was not a valid address family.
|
ENOSPC |
The converted address string would exceed the size given by size. |
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001. Note that RFC 2553 defines a prototype where the last argument size is of type size_t. Many systems follow RFC 2553. Glibc 2.0 and 2.1 have size_t, but 2.2 and later have socklen_t.
BUGS
AF_INET6 converts IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses into an IPv6 format.
