|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet_net_ntop
|
|
function converts an Internet network number from network format (usually a
|
|
.Vt struct in_addr
|
|
or some other binary form, in network byte order) to CIDR presentation format
|
|
(suitable for external display purposes).
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa bits
|
|
argument is the number of bits in
|
|
.Fa src
|
|
that are the network number.
|
|
It returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if an error occurs (in which case
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
will have been set), or it returns a pointer to the destination string.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet_net_pton
|
|
function converts a presentation format Internet network number (that is,
|
|
printable form as held in a character string) to network format (usually a
|
|
.Vt struct in_addr
|
|
or some other internal binary representation, in network byte order).
|
|
It returns the number of bits (either computed based on the class, or
|
|
specified with /CIDR), or \-1 if a failure occurred
|
|
(in which case
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
will have been set).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The currently supported values for
|
|
.Fa af
|
|
are
|
|
.Dv AF_INET
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv AF_INET6 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
argument is the size of the result buffer
|
|
.Fa dst .
|
|
.Sh NETWORK NUMBERS (IP VERSION 4)
|
|
Internet network numbers may be specified in one of the following forms:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
a.b.c.d/bits
|
|
a.b.c.d
|
|
a.b.c
|
|
a.b
|
|
a
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When four parts are specified, each is interpreted
|
|
as a byte of data and assigned, from left to right,
|
|
to the four bytes of an Internet network number.
|
|
Note that when an Internet network number is viewed as a 32-bit
|
|
integer quantity on a system that uses little-endian
|
|
byte order (such as the
|
|
.Tn Intel 386 , 486 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn Pentium
|
|
processors) the bytes referred to above appear as
|
|
.Dq Li d.c.b.a .
|
|
That is, little-endian bytes are ordered from right to left.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When a three part number is specified, the last
|
|
part is interpreted as a 16-bit quantity and placed
|
|
in the rightmost two bytes of the Internet network number.
|
|
This makes the three part number format convenient
|
|
for specifying Class B network numbers as
|
|
.Dq Li 128.net.host .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When a two part number is supplied, the last part
|
|
is interpreted as a 24-bit quantity and placed in
|
|
the rightmost three bytes of the Internet network number.
|
|
This makes the two part number format convenient
|
|
for specifying Class A network numbers as
|
|
.Dq Li net.host .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When only one part is given, the value is stored
|
|
directly in the Internet network number without any byte
|
|
rearrangement.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All numbers supplied as
|
|
.Dq parts
|
|
in a
|
|
.Ql \&.
|
|
notation
|
|
may be decimal, octal, or hexadecimal, as specified
|
|
in the C language (i.e., a leading 0x or 0X implies
|
|
hexadecimal; otherwise, a leading 0 implies octal;
|
|
otherwise, the number is interpreted as decimal).
