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>
int 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).
It returns 1 if the address was valid for the specified address family,
or 0 if the address was not parseable in the specified address family,
or -1 if some system error occurred (in which case errno will have been
set).
