+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR inet_aton ()
+converts the Internet host address \fIcp\fP from the
+IPv4 numbers-and-dots notation into binary form (in network byte order)
+and stores it in the structure that \fIinp\fP points to.
+.BR inet_aton ()
+returns nonzero if the address is valid, zero if not.
+The address supplied in
+.I cp
+can have one of the following forms:
+.TP 10
+.I a.b.c.d
+Each of the four numeric parts specifies a byte of the address;
+the bytes are assigned in left-to-right order to produce the binary address.
+.TP
+.I a.b.c
+Parts
+.I a
+and
+.I b
+specify the first two bytes of the binary address.
+Part
+.I c
+is interpreted as a 16-bit value that defines the rightmost two bytes
+of the binary address.
+This notation is suitable for specifying (outmoded) Class B
+network addresses.
+.TP
+.I a.b
+Part
+.I a
+specifies the first byte of the binary address.
+Part
+.I b
+is interpreted as a 24-bit value that defines the rightmost three bytes
+of the binary address.
+This notation is suitable for specifying (outmoded) Class A
+network addresses.
+.TP
+.I a
+The value
+.I a
+is interpreted as a 32-bit value that is stored directly
+into the binary address without any byte rearrangement.
+.PP
+In all of the above forms,
+components of the dotted address can be specified in decimal,
+octal (with a leading
+.IR 0 ),
+or hexadecimal, with a leading
+.IR 0X ).
+Addresses in any of these forms are collectively termed
+.IR "IPV4 numbers-and-dots notation" .
+The form that uses exactly four decimal numbers is referred to as
+.I IPv4 dotted-decimal notation
+(or sometimes:
+.IR "IPv4 dotted-quad notation" ).
+.PP
+.BR inet_aton ()
+returns 1 if the supplied string was successfully interpreted,
+or 0 if the string is invalid
+.RB ( errno
+is
+.I not
+set on error).
+.PP
+The
+.BR inet_addr ()
+function converts the Internet host address
+\fIcp\fP from IPv4 numbers-and-dots notation into binary data in network
+byte order.
+If the input is invalid,
+.B INADDR_NONE
+(usually \-1) is returned.
+Use of this function is problematic because \-1 is a valid address
+(255.255.255.255).
+Avoid its use in favor of
+.BR inet_aton (),
+.BR inet_pton (3),
+or
+.BR getaddrinfo (3),
+which provide a cleaner way to indicate error return.
+.PP
+The
+.BR inet_network ()
+function converts
+.IR cp ,
+a string in IPv4 numbers-and-dots notation,
+into a number in host byte order suitable for use as an
+Internet network address.
+On success, the converted address is returned.
+If the input is invalid, \-1 is returned.
+.PP
+The
+.BR inet_ntoa ()
+function converts the Internet host address
+\fIin\fP, given in network byte order, to a string in IPv4
+dotted-decimal notation.
+The string is returned in a statically
+allocated buffer, which subsequent calls will overwrite.
+.PP
+The
+.BR inet_lnaof ()
+function returns the local network address part
+of the Internet address \fIin\fP.
+The returned value is in host byte order.
+.PP
+The
+.BR inet_netof ()
+function returns the network number part of
+the Internet address \fIin\fP.
+The returned value is in host byte order.
+.PP
+The
+.BR inet_makeaddr ()
+function is the converse of
+.BR inet_netof ()
+and
+.BR inet_lnaof ().
+It returns an Internet host address in network byte order,
+created by combining the network number \fInet\fP
+with the local address \fIhost\fP, both in
+host byte order.
+.PP
+The structure \fIin_addr\fP as used in
+.BR inet_ntoa (),
+.BR inet_makeaddr (),
+.BR inet_lnaof (),
+and
+.BR inet_netof ()
+is defined in
+.I <netinet/in.h>
+as:
+.PP

+POSIX.1-2001, 4.3BSD.
+.PP
+.BR inet_lnaof (),
+.BR inet_netof (),
+and
+.BR inet_makeaddr ()
+are legacy functions that assume they are dealing with
+.IR "classful network addresses" .
+Classful networking divides IPv4 network addresses into host and network
+components at byte boundaries, as follows:
+.TP 10
+Class A
+This address type is indicated by the value 0 in the
+most significant bit of the (network byte ordered) address.
+The network address is contained in the most significant byte,
+and the host address occupies the remaining three bytes.
+.TP
+Class B
+This address type is indicated by the binary value 10 in the
+most significant two bits of the address.
+The network address is contained in the two most significant bytes,
+and the host address occupies the remaining two bytes.
+.TP
+Class C
+This address type is indicated by the binary value 110 in the
+most significant three bits of the address.
+The network address is contained in the three most significant bytes,
+and the host address occupies the remaining byte.
+.PP
+Classful network addresses are now obsolete,
+having been superseded by Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR),
+which divides addresses into network and host components at
+arbitrary bit (rather than byte) boundaries.
+.SH NOTES
+On x86 architectures, the host byte order is Least Significant Byte
+first (little endian), whereas the network byte order, as used on the
+Internet, is Most Significant Byte first (big endian).
+.SH EXAMPLES
+An example of the use of
+.BR inet_aton ()
+and
+.BR inet_ntoa ()
+is shown below.
+Here are some example runs:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+.RB "$" " ./a.out 226.000.000.037" "      # Last byte is in octal"
+226.0.0.31
