| 16 | .TH ARES_INET_PTON 3 "17 Feb 2013" |
| 17 | .SH NAME |
| 18 | ares_inet_pton \- convert an IPv4 or IPv6 address from text to binary form |
| 19 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
| 20 | .nf |
| 21 | .B #include <ares.h> |
| 22 | .PP |
| 23 | .B const char *ares_inet_pton(int af, const char *src, void *dst); |
| 24 | .fi |
| 25 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 26 | This is a portable version with the identical functionality of the commonly |
| 27 | available \fIinet_pton\fP. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | The ares_inet_pton() function converts the address in its standard text |
| 30 | presentation form into its numeric binary form. The \fBaf\fP argument shall |
| 31 | specify the family of the address. The AF_INET and AF_INET6 address families |
| 32 | shall be supported. The \fBsrc\fP argument points to the string being passed |
| 33 | in. The \fBdst\fP argument points to a buffer into which the function stores |
| 34 | the numeric address; this shall be large enough to hold the numeric address |
| 35 | (32 bits for AF_INET, 128 bits for AF_INET6). |
