ARES_INET_NTOP(3)          Library Functions Manual          ARES_INET_NTOP(3)



NAME
       ares_inet_ntop  - convert a network format address to presentation for-
       mat

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ares.h>

       const char *
       ares_inet_ntop(int af, const void *src, char *dst, ares_socklen_t size);

DESCRIPTION
       This is a portable version with the identical functionality of the com-
       monly available inet_ntop.

       The  ares_inet_ntop()  function  converts a numeric address into a text
       string suitable for presentation. The af  argument  shall  specify  the
       family  of the address. This can be AF_INET or AF_INET6.  The src argu-
       ment points to a buffer holding an IPv4 address if the af  argument  is
       AF_INET, or an IPv6 address if the af argument is AF_INET6; the address
       must be in network byte order. The dst  argument  points  to  a  buffer
       where  the  function  stores the resulting text string; it shall not be
       NULL. The size argument specifies the size of this buffer, which  shall
       be  large  enough to hold the text string (INET_ADDRSTRLEN (16) charac-
       ters for IPv4, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN (46) characters for IPv6).
