7       form

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <ares.h>
11
12       const char *ares_inet_pton(int af, const char *src, void *dst);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       This is a portable version with the identical functionality of the com‐
16       monly available inet_pton.
17
18       The ares_inet_pton() function converts the address in its standard text
19       presentation form into its numeric binary form. The af  argument  shall
20       specify  the  family  of  the address. The AF_INET and AF_INET6 address
21       families shall be supported. The src argument points to the string  be‐
22       ing passed in. The dst argument points to a buffer into which the func‐
23       tion stores the numeric address; this shall be large enough to hold the
24       numeric address (32 bits for AF_INET, 128 bits for AF_INET6).
