NAME¶
ares_inet_pton - convert an IPv4 or IPv6 address from text to binary form
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <ares.h>
const char *ares_inet_pton(int af, const char *src, void *dst);
DESCRIPTION¶
This is a portable version with the identical functionality of the commonly
available
inet_pton.
The ares_inet_pton() function converts the address in its standard text
presentation form into its numeric binary form. The
af argument shall
specify the family of the address. The AF_INET and AF_INET6 address families
shall be supported. The
src argument points to the string being passed
in. The
dst argument points to a buffer into which the function stores
the numeric address; this shall be large enough to hold the numeric address
(32 bits for AF_INET, 128 bits for AF_INET6).
