NAME¶
fmt_ip6c - write a formatted ASCII representation of an IPv6 number
SYNTAX¶
#include <ip6.h>
unsigned int
fmt_ip6c(char *
dest,const char
ip[16]);
DESCRIPTION¶
fmt_ip6c formats an IPv6 number in ASCII representation from
ip and
writes the result into
dest. It returns the number of bytes written.
fmt_ip6c will apply "::" compression to the output.
If
ip is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, fmt_ip6c will output it as IPv4
address.
If
dest equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is zero), fmt_ip6c returns the number of
bytes it would have written.
fmt_ip6c does not append \0.
For convenience, ip6.h defines the integer IP6_FMT to be big enough to contain
every possible fmt_ip6c output plus \0.
EXAMPLE¶
#include <ip6.h>
char buf[IP6_FMT];
char ip[16];
buf[fmt_ip6c(buf,ip)]=0;
