The \fBaf\fP argument shall specify the family of +the address. This can be AF_INET or AF_INET6. The \fBsrc\fP 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 \fBdst\fP argument points to a buffer where the function stores the +resulting text string; it shall not be NULL. The \fBsize\fP argument specifies +the size of this buffer, which shall be large enough to hold the text string +(INET_ADDRSTRLEN (16) characters for IPv4, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN (46) characters +for IPv6). +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ares_init(3), +.BR ares_inet_pton(3) +.SH AVAILABILITY +made properly publicly available in c-ares for real in version 1.10.0 +.SH AUTHOR +Daniel Stenberg + |
