fmt_ip6c(3)		   Library Functions Manual		   fmt_ip6c(3)

NAME
       fmt_ip6c	- write	a formatted ASCII representation of an IPv6 number

SYNTAX
       #include	<libowfat/ip6.h>

       unsigned	int fmt_ip6c(char *dest,const char ip[16]);

DESCRIPTION
       fmt_ip6c	 formats  an  IPv6  number in ASCII representation from	ip and
       writes the result into dest. It returns the number of bytes written.

       fmt_ip6c	will apply "::"	compression to the output.

       If ip is	an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, fmt_ip6c will output it  as  IPv4
       address.

       If  dest	 equals	FMT_LEN	(i.e. is zero),	fmt_ip6c returns the number of
       bytes it	would have written.

       fmt_ip6c	does not append	\0.

       For convenience,	ip6.h defines the integer IP6_FMT to be	big enough  to
       contain every possible fmt_ip6c output plus \0.

EXAMPLE
       #include	<libowfat/ip6.h>

	 char buf[IP6_FMT];
	 char ip[16];
	 buf[fmt_ip6c(buf,ip)]=0;
