| .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 | |
| #include <ares.h> | |
| const char *ares_inet_pton(int \fIaf\fP, const char *\fIsrc\fP, void *\fIdst\fP); | |
| .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). | |
