  16 .TH ARES_INET_PTON 3 "17 Feb 2013"
  17 .SH NAME
  18 ares_inet_pton \- convert an IPv4 or IPv6 address from text to binary form
  19 .SH SYNOPSIS
  20 .nf
  21 .B #include <ares.h>
  22 .PP
  23 .B const char *ares_inet_pton(int af, const char *src, void *dst);
  24 .fi
  25 .SH DESCRIPTION
  26 This is a portable version with the identical functionality of the commonly
  27 available \fIinet_pton\fP.
  28
  29 The ares_inet_pton() function converts the address in its standard text
  30 presentation form into its numeric binary form. The \fBaf\fP argument shall
  31 specify the family of the address. The AF_INET and AF_INET6 address families
  32 shall be supported. The \fBsrc\fP argument points to the string being passed
  33 in. The \fBdst\fP argument points to a buffer into which the function stores
  34 the numeric address; this shall be large enough to hold the numeric address
  35 (32 bits for AF_INET, 128 bits for AF_INET6).
