PR_StringToNetAddr
==================
Converts a character string to a network address.
Syntax
------
.. code::
#include <prnetdb.h>
PRStatus PR_StringToNetAddr(
const char *string,
PRNetAddr *addr);
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
The function has the following parameters:
``string``
The string to be converted.
``addr``
On output, the equivalent network address.
Returns
~~~~~~~
The function returns one of the following values:
- If successful, ``PR_SUCCESS``.
- If unsuccessful, ``PR_FAILURE``. You can retrieve the reason for the
failure by calling :ref:`PR_GetError`.
Description
-----------
For IPv4 addresses, the input string represents numbers in the Internet
standard "." notation. IPv6 addresses are indicated as strings using ":"
characters separating octets, with numerous caveats for shortcutting
(see RFC #1884). If the NSPR library and the host are configured to
support IPv6, both formats are supported. Otherwise, use of anything
other than IPv4 dotted notation results in an error.
