IPSEC_ANYADDR(3)					     Library Functions Manual						  IPSEC_ANYADDR(3)

NAME
ipsec_anyaddr, ipsec_isanyaddr, ipsec_unspecaddr, ipsec_isunspecaddr, ipsec_loopbackaddr, ipsec_isloopbackaddr - get and test for addresses of type "any", "unspecified" and loopback get "any" address
SYNOPSIS
#include <freeswan.h> const char *anyaddr(int af, ip_address *dst); int isanyaddr(const ip_address *src); const char *unspecaddr(int af, ip_address *dst); int isunspecaddr(const ip_address *src); const char *loopbackaddr(int af, ip_address *dst); int isloopbackaddr(const ip_address *src);
DESCRIPTION
These functions fill in, and test for, special values of the ip_address type. Anyaddr fills in the destination *dst with the ``any'' address of address family af (normally AF_INET or AF_INET6). The IPv4 ``any'' address is the one embodied in the old INADDR_ANY macro. Isanyaddr returns 1 if the src address equals the ``any'' address, and 0 otherwise. Similarly, unspecaddr supplies, and isunspecaddr tests for, the ``unspecified'' address, which may be the same as the ``any'' address. Similarly, loopbackaddr supplies, and islookbackaddr tests for, the loopback address. Anyaddr, unspecaddr, and loopbackaddr return NULL for success and a pointer to a string-literal error message for failure; see DIAGNOSTICS.

DIAGNOSTICS
Fatal errors in the address-supplying functions are: unknown address family.
