-.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.
-.P
-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" ).
-.P
-.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).
-.P
-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.
-.P
-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.
-.P
-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.
-.P
-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.
-.P
-The
-.BR inet_netof ()
-function returns the network number part of
-the Internet address \fIin\fP.
-The returned value is in host byte order.
-.P
-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.
-.P
-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:
-.P

-.P
-.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.
-.P
-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.
