NAME
arpa/inet.h
--- definitions for internet operations
SYNOPSIS
#include <arpa/inet.h>
DESCRIPTION
The
<arpa/inet.h>
header shall define the
in_port_t
and
in_addr_t
types as described in
<netinet/in.h>.
The
<arpa/inet.h>
header shall define the
in_addr
structure as described in
<netinet/in.h>.
The
<arpa/inet.h>
header shall define the INET_ADDRSTRLEN
and INET6_ADDRSTRLEN
macros as described in
<netinet/in.h>.
The following shall be declared as functions, or defined as macros,
or both. If functions are declared, function prototypes shall be
provided.
-
uint32_t htonl(uint32_t);
uint16_t htons(uint16_t);
uint32_t ntohl(uint32_t);
uint16_t ntohs(uint16_t);
The
<arpa/inet.h>
header shall define the
uint32_t
and
uint16_t
types as described in
<inttypes.h>.
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
-
in_addr_t inet_addr(const char *);
char *inet_ntoa(struct in_addr);
const char *inet_ntop(int, const void *restrict, char *restrict,
socklen_t);
int inet_pton(int, const char *restrict, void *restrict);

<arpa/inet.h>
header may also make visible all symbols from
<netinet/in.h>
and
