| .TH ARES_INET_PTON 3 "17 Feb 2013" |
| .SH NAME |
| ares_inet_pton \- convert an IPv4 or IPv6 address from text to binary form |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .nf |
| .B #include <ares.h> |
| .PP |
| .B const char *ares_inet_pton(int af, const char *src, void *dst); |
| .fi |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| This is a portable version with the identical functionality of the commonly |
| available \fIinet_pton\fP. |
| |
| The ares_inet_pton() function converts the address in its standard text |
| presentation form into its numeric binary form. The \fBaf\fP argument shall |
| specify the family of the address. The AF_INET and AF_INET6 address families |
| shall be supported. The \fBsrc\fP argument points to the string being passed |
| in. The \fBdst\fP 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). |
