fmt_pad(3) [debian man page]

fmt_pad(3)						     Library Functions Manual							fmt_pad(3)

NAME
fmt_pad - pad a string with spaces. SYNTAX
#include <fmt.h> size_t fmt_pad(char *dest, const char *source, size_t srclen, size_t padlen, size_t maxlen); DESCRIPTION
fmt_pad writes padlen-srclen spaces (if that number is positive) and then srclen characters from source. It truncates the output only if the length would exceed maxlen. It returns the number of bytes it wrote. fmt_pad does not append . If dest equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is zero), fmt_pad returns the number of bytes it would have written. SEE ALSO
fmt_strn(3), fmt_fill(3) fmt_pad(3)

IPSEC_INITADDR(3)					     Library Functions Manual						 IPSEC_INITADDR(3)

NAME
ipsec_initaddr, ipsec_addrtypeof, ipsec_addrlenof, ipsec_addrbytesof, ipsec_addrbytesptr - initialize an ip_address, get address type of an ip_address, get length of address within an ip_address, get copy of address within an ip_address, get pointer to address within an ip_address SYNOPSIS
#include <freeswan.h> const char *initaddr(const char *src, size_t srclen, int af, ip_address *dst); int addrtypeof(const ip_address *src); size_t addrlenof(const ip_address *src); size_t addrbytesof(const ip_address *src, unsigned char *dst, size_t dstlen); size_t addrbytesptr(const ip_address *src, const unsigned char **dst); DESCRIPTION
The <freeswan.h> library uses an internal type ip_address to contain one of the (currently two) types of IP address. These functions pro- vide basic tools for creating and examining this type. Initaddr initializes a variable *dst of type ip_address from an address (in network byte order, indicated by a pointer src and a length srclen) and an address family af (typically AF_INET or AF_INET6). The length must be consistent with the address family. Addrtypeof returns the address type of an address, normally AF_INET or AF_INET6. (The <freeswan.h> header file arranges to include the necessary headers for these names to be known.) Addrlenof returns the size (in bytes) of the address within an ip_address, to permit storage allocation etc. Addrbytesof copies the address within the ip_address src to the buffer indicated by the pointer dst and the length dstlen, and returns the address length (in bytes). If the address will not fit, as many bytes as will fit are copied; the returned length is still the full length. It is the caller's responsibility to check the returned value to ensure that there was enough room. Addrbytesptr sets *dst to a pointer to the internal address within the ip_address, and returns the address length (in bytes). If dst is NULL, it just returns the address length. The pointer points to const to discourage misuse. Initaddr returns NULL for success and a pointer to a string-literal error message for failure; see DIAGNOSTICS. The functions which return size_t return 0 for a failure. SEE ALSO
inet(3), ipsec_ttoaddr(3) DIAGNOSTICS
An unknown address family is a fatal error for any of these functions except addrtypeof. An address-size mismatch is a fatal error for initaddr. HISTORY
Written for the FreeS/WAN project by Henry Spencer. BUGS
Addrtypeof should probably have been named addrfamilyof. 11 Sept 2000 IPSEC_INITADDR(3)
