       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of
       this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux  manual  page  for  details  of
       Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       arpa/inet.h — definitions for internet operations

SYNOPSIS

       #include <arpa/inet.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The  <arpa/inet.h>  header  shall define the in_port_t and in_addr_t types as described in
       <netinet/in.h>.

       The  <arpa/inet.h>  header  shall  define  the   in_addr   structure   as   described   in
       <netinet/in.h>.

       The  <arpa/inet.h>  header shall define the INET_ADDRSTRLEN and INET6_ADDRSTRLEN macros as
       described in <netinet/in.h>.

       The following shall be declared as functions, or defined as macros, or both. If  functions
       are declared, function prototypes shall be provided.

           uint32_t htonl(uint32_t);
           uint16_t htons(uint16_t);
           uint32_t ntohl(uint32_t);
           uint16_t ntohs(uint16_t);

       The  <arpa/inet.h>  header  shall  define  the uint32_t and uint16_t types as described in
       <inttypes.h>.

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as  macros.  Function
       prototypes shall be provided.

           in_addr_t    inet_addr(const char *);
           char        *inet_ntoa(struct in_addr);
           const char  *inet_ntop(int, const void *restrict, char *restrict,
                            socklen_t);
           int          inet_pton(int, const char *restrict, void *restrict);

       Inclusion   of   the   <arpa/inet.h>  header  may  also  make  visible  all  symbols  from
       <netinet/in.h> and <inttypes.h>.

       The following sections are informative.
