ether_aton, ether_ntoa, ether_ntohost, ether_hosttonn, ether_line, ether_ntoa_r, ether_aton_r - Ethernet address manipulation routines
SYNOPSIS
#include <netinet/ether.h>
char *
ether_ntoa(const struct ether_addr *addr);
struct ether_addr *
ether_aton(const char *asc);
int
ether_ntohost(char *hostname, const struct ether_addr *addr);
int
ether_hostton(const char *hostname, struct ether_addr *addr);
int
ether_line(const char *line, struct ether_addr *addr,
char *hostname);
/* GNU extensions */
char *
ether_ntoa_r(const struct ether_addr *addr, char *buf);
struct ether_addr *
ether_aton_r(const char *asc, struct ether_addr *addr);
DESCRIPTION
ether_aton() converts the 48-bit Ethernet host address asc from the standard hex-digits-and-colons notation into binary data in network
byte order and returns a pointer to it in a statically allocated buffer, which subsequent calls will overwrite. ether_aton returns NULL if
the address is invalid.
The ether_ntoa() function converts the Ethernet host address addr given in network byte order to a string in standard hex-digits-and-colons
notation, omitting leading zeroes. The string is returned in a statically allocated buffer, which subsequent calls will overwrite.
The ether_ntohost() function maps an Ethernet address to the corresponding hostname in /etc/ethers and returns non-zero if it cannot be
found.
The ether_hostton() function maps a hostname to the corresponding Ethernet address in /etc/ethers and returns non-zero if it cannot be
found.
The ether_line() function parses a line in /etc/ethers format (ethernet address followed by whitespace followed by hostname; '#' introduces
a comment) and returns an address and hostname pair, or non-zero if it cannot be parsed. The buffer pointed at by hostname must be suffi-
ciently long, e.g., have the same length as line.
The functions ether_ntoa_r and ether_aton_r are re-entrant threadsafe versions of ether_ntoa and ether_aton respectively, and do not use
static buffers.
The structure ether_addr is defined in net/ethernet.h as:
struct ether_addr {
u_int8_t ether_addr_octet[6];
}
BUGS
The glibc 2.2.5 implementation of ether_line() is broken.

I want to create a new user and grant him ONLY transfer files access to a specific directory where he can only upload and read the files. He should be restricted to this activity only.
