NAME
       scan_ip6_flat - parse an IPv6 number in flat ASCII representation

SYNTAX
       #include <ip6.h>

       int scan_ip6_flat(const char *src,char ip[16]);

DESCRIPTION
       scan_ip6_flat  parses  an  IPv6	number in flat ASCII representation from src and writes the result into ip. It returns the number of bytes
       read from src or 0 if the parsing failed.

       scan_ip6_flat accepts upper and lower case hex letters.

       The flat representation should have been output by fmt_ip6_flat.

EXAMPLE
       #include <str.h>
       #include <ip6.h>

	 char buf[]="00000000000000000000000000000001";
	 char ip[16];
	 if (scan_ip6_flat(buf,ip) != str_len(buf))
	   parse_error();
