ARES_INET_PTON(3)      C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS      ARES_INET_PTON(3)

NAME

     ares_inet_pton - convert an IPv4 or IPv6 address  from  text
     to binary form

SYNOPSIS

     #include <ares.h>

     const char *ares_inet_pton(int af, const char

DESCRIPTION

     This is a portable version with the identical  functionality
     of the commonly available inet_pton.

     The ares_inet_pton() function converts the  address  in  its
     standard  text  presentation  form  into  its numeric binary
     form. The af  argument  shall  specify  the  family  of  the
     address.  The AF_INET and AF_INET6 address families shall be
     supported. The src  argument  points  to  the  string  being
     passed  in.  The  dst argument points to a buffer into which
     the function stores the numeric address; this shall be large
     enough to hold the numeric address (32 bits for AF_INET, 128
     bits for AF_INET6).
