INET_ADDR(P) INET_ADDR(P)
NAME
inet_addr, inet_ntoa - IPv4 address manipulation
SYNOPSIS
#include <arpa/inet.h>
in_addr_t inet_addr(const char *cp);
char *inet_ntoa(struct in_addr in);
DESCRIPTION
The inet_addr() function shall convert the string pointed to by cp, in the standard
IPv4 dotted decimal notation, to an integer value suitable for use as an Internet
address.
The inet_ntoa() function shall convert the Internet host address specified by in to
a string in the Internet standard dot notation.
The inet_ntoa() function need not be reentrant. A function that is not required to
be reentrant is not required to be thread-safe.
All Internet addresses shall be returned in network order (bytes ordered from left
to right).
Values specified using IPv4 dotted decimal notation take one of the following
forms:
a.b.c.d
When four parts are specified, each shall be interpreted as a byte of data
and assigned, from left to right, to the four bytes of an Internet address.
a.b.c When a three-part address is specified, the last part shall be interpreted
as a 16-bit quantity and placed in the rightmost two bytes of the network
address. This makes the three-part address format convenient for specifying
Class B network addresses as "128.net.host" .
a.b When a two-part address is supplied, the last part shall be interpreted as a
24-bit quantity and placed in the rightmost three bytes of the network
address. This makes the two-part address format convenient for specifying
Class A network addresses as "net.host" .
a When only one part is given, the value shall be stored directly in the net-
work address without any byte rearrangement.
All numbers supplied as parts in IPv4 dotted decimal notation may be decimal,
octal, or hexadecimal, as specified in the ISO C standard (that is, a leading 0x or
0X implies hexadecimal; otherwise, a leading â€â€™0â€â€™ implies octal; otherwise, the num-
ber is interpreted as decimal).
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, inet_addr() shall return the Internet address. Other-
wise, it shall return ( in_addr_t)(-1).
The inet_ntoa() function shall return a pointer to the network address in Internet
standard dot notation.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
The return value of inet_ntoa() may point to static data that may be overwritten by
subsequent calls to inet_ntoa().
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
