NAME

       arpa/inet.h - definitions for internet operations

SYNOPSIS

       #include <arpa/inet.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The in_port_t and in_addr_t types shall be defined as described in <netinet/in.h> .

       The in_addr structure shall be defined as described in <netinet/in.h> .

       The INET_ADDRSTRLEN    and INET6_ADDRSTRLEN  macros shall be defined as described in <netinet/in.h> .

       The  following  shall  either be declared as functions, defined as macros, or both. If functions are declared, function prototypes shall be
       provided.

	      uint32_t htonl(uint32_t);
	      uint16_t htons(uint16_t);
	      uint32_t ntohl(uint32_t);
	      uint16_t ntohs(uint16_t);

       The uint32_t and uint16_t types shall be defined as described in <inttypes.h> .

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

	      in_addr_t    inet_addr(const char *);
	      char	  *inet_ntoa(struct in_addr);
	      const char  *inet_ntop(int, const void *restrict, char *restrict,
			       socklen_t);
	      int	   inet_pton(int, const char *restrict, void *restrict);

       Inclusion of the <arpa/inet.h> header may also make visible all symbols from <netinet/in.h> and <inttypes.h>.
