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).

NAME

       inet_ntop - Parse network address structures

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/socket.h>
       #include <arpa/inet.h>

       const char *inet_ntop(int af, const void *src,
			     char *dst, size_t cnt);

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  converts the network address structure src in the af address family into a character string, which is copied to a character
       buffer dst, which is cnt bytes long.

       inet_ntop(3) extends the inet_ntoa(3) function to support multiple address families, inet_ntoa(3) is now considered  to	be  deprecated	in
       favor of inet_ntop(3).  The following address families are currently supported:

       AF_INET
	      src  points to a struct in_addr (network byte order format) which is converted to an IPv4 network address in the dotted-quad format,
	      "ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd".  The buffer dst must be at least INET_ADDRSTRLEN bytes long.

       AF_INET6
	      src points to a struct in6_addr (network byte order format) which is converted to a representation  of  this  address  in  the  most
	      appropriate IPv6 network address format for this address.  The buffer dst must be at least INET6_ADDRSTRLEN bytes long.

RETURN VALUE

       inet_ntop returns a non-null pointer to dst.  NULL is returned if there was an error, with errno set to EAFNOSUPPORT if af was not set to a
       valid address family, or to ENOSPC if the converted address string would exceed the size of dst given by the cnt argument.

       inet_pton(3)

BUGS

       AF_INET6 converts IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses into an IPv6 format.
