.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBatalk_aton()\fR
routine converts an ASCII representation of an AppleTalk address to a format appropriate for system calls\&. Acceptable ASCII representations include both hex and base 10, in triples or doubles\&. For instance, the address `0x1f6b\&.77\' has a network part of `8043\' and a node part of `119\'\&. This same address could be written `8043\&.119\', `31\&.107\&.119\', or `0x1f\&.6b\&.77\'\&. If the address is in hex and the first digit is one of `A\-F\', a leading `0x\' is redundant\&.
