.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
#include <ares.h>
|
|
|
|
|
|

const char *ares_inet_pton(int \fIaf\fP, const char *\fIsrc\fP, void *\fIdst\fP);

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This is a portable version with the identical functionality of the commonly
|
|
|
|
available \fIinet_pton\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ares_inet_pton() function converts the address in its standard text
|
|
|
|
presentation form into its numeric binary form. The \fBaf\fP argument shall
|
|
|
|
specify the family of the address. The AF_INET and AF_INET6 address families
|
|
|
|
shall be supported. The \fBsrc\fP argument points to the string being passed
|
|
|
|
in. The \fBdst\fP 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).
