NAME

       rose_aton, rose_ntoa, rose_cmp - ROSE Address manipulation routines

SYNOPSIS

       #include <netrose/rose.h>

       int rose_aton(const char *cp, char *inp);

       char * rose_ntoa(rose_address *cp);

       int rose_cmp(rose_address *a1, rose_address *a2);

DESCRIPTION

       The  rose_aton()  converts  the  ROSE address cp from an ASCII representation into network
       format.

       The rose_ntoa() converts the ROSE address cp that is network format to a  string  that  is
       the ASCII representation of the address.

       The rose_cmp() compares the two ROSE address a1 and a2 that are in network format.

RETURN VALUE

       The rose_ntoa() and rose_aton() functions return zero if all went OK, -1 if not.

       The rose_cmp() returns 0 if addresses pointer by a1 and a2 are identical, 1 otherwise.
