ARES_INET_NTOP(3)ARES_INET_NTOP(3)NAMEares_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).
