ARES_INET_PTON(3)					     Library Functions Manual						 ARES_INET_PTON(3)

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). SEE ALSO
ares_init(3), ares_inet_ntop(3) AVAILABILITY

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).
