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).
