inet_ntop, inet_pton — convert IPv4 and IPv6 addresses between
       binary and text form

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <arpa/inet.h>

       const char *inet_ntop(int af, const void *restrict src,
           char *restrict dst, socklen_t size);
       int inet_pton(int af, const char *restrict src, void *restrict dst);

Описание (Description)

The inet_ntop() function shall convert a numeric address into a
       text string suitable for presentation. The af argument shall
       specify the family of the address. This can be AF_INET or
       AF_INET6.  The src argument points to a buffer holding an IPv4
       address if the af argument is AF_INET, or an IPv6 address if the
       af argument is AF_INET6; the address must be in network byte
       order. The dst argument points to a buffer where the function
       stores the resulting text string; it shall not be NULL. The size
       argument specifies the size of this buffer, which shall be large
       enough to hold the text string (INET_ADDRSTRLEN characters for
       IPv4, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN characters for IPv6).

       The inet_pton() function shall convert an 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).

       If the af argument of inet_pton() is AF_INET, the src string
       shall be in the standard IPv4 dotted-decimal form:

           ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd

       where "ddd" is a one to three digit decimal number between 0 and
       255 (see inet_addr(3p)).  The inet_pton() function does not
       accept other formats (such as the octal numbers, hexadecimal
       numbers, and fewer than four numbers that inet_addr() accepts).

       If the af argument of inet_pton() is AF_INET6, the src string
       shall be in one of the following standard IPv6 text forms:

        1. The preferred form is "x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x", where the 'x's are
           the hexadecimal values of the eight 16-bit pieces of the
           address.  Leading zeros in individual fields can be omitted,
           but there shall be one to four hexadecimal digits in every
           field.

        2. A string of contiguous zero fields in the preferred form can
           be shown as "::".  The "::" can only appear once in an
           address. Unspecified addresses ("0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0") may be
           represented simply as "::".

        3. A third form that is sometimes more convenient when dealing
           with a mixed environment of IPv4 and IPv6 nodes is
           "x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d", where the 'x's are the hexadecimal
           values of the six high-order 16-bit pieces of the address,
           and the 'd's are the decimal values of the four low-order
           8-bit pieces of the address (standard IPv4 representation).

       Note:
           A more extensive description of the standard representations
           of IPv6 addresses can be found in RFC 2373.

Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

The inet_ntop() function shall return a pointer to the buffer
       containing the text string if the conversion succeeds, and NULL
       otherwise, and set errno to indicate the error.

       The inet_pton() function shall return 1 if the conversion
       succeeds, with the address pointed to by dst in network byte
       order. It shall return 0 if the input is not a valid IPv4 dotted-
       decimal string or a valid IPv6 address string, or -1 with errno
       set to [EAFNOSUPPORT] if the af argument is unknown.

---

Ошибки (Error)

The inet_ntop() and inet_pton() functions shall fail if:

       EAFNOSUPPORT
              The af argument is invalid.

       ENOSPC The size of the inet_ntop() result buffer is inadequate.
