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).
