fnet_inet_pton()

fnet_return_t fnet_inet_pton	(	fnet_address_family_t	family,
		const fnet_char_t *	str,
		void *	addr,
		fnet_size_t	addr_len
	)

Converts IPv4 and IPv6 addresses from text to binary form.

Parameters

family	The address family (AF_INET or AF_INET6).
str	Null-terminated character string that contains the text representation of the IP address to convert to numeric binary form.
addr	Pointer to a buffer in which to store the numeric binary representation of the IP address str.
addr_len	Length of the addr buffer.

Returns

This function returns:

• FNET_OK if no error occurs.
• FNET_ERR if the string in the str parameter does not contain a legitimate Internet address.

fnet_inet_ntop()

This function converts the character string src into a network address structure in the addr_family address family, then copies the network address structure to the addr buffer.

Note

fnet_inet_pton() extends the fnet_inet_aton() function to support multiple address families.
fnet_inet_aton() is now considered to be deprecated.
