bionic (3) ares_inet_ntop.3.gz

NAME

       ares_inet_ntop - convert a network format address to presentation format

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ares.h>

       const char *
       ares_inet_ntop(int af, const void *src, char *dst, ares_socklen_t size);

DESCRIPTION

       This is a portable version with the identical functionality of the commonly available inet_ntop.

       The  ares_inet_ntop()  function  converts a numeric address into a text string suitable for presentation.
       The af argument shall specify the family of the address. This  can  be  AF_INET  or  AF_INET6.   The  src
       argument  points to a buffer holding an IPv4 address if the af argument is AF_INET, or an IPv6 address if
       the af argument is AF_INET6; the address must be in network byte order. The  dst  argument  points  to  a
       buffer  where  the  function  stores  the  resulting text string; it shall not be NULL. The size argument
       specifies the size of this buffer, which shall be large enough to hold the text  string  (INET_ADDRSTRLEN
       (16) characters for IPv4, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN (46) characters for IPv6).
