scan_ip6if(3) Library Functions Manual scan_ip6if(3) NAME scan_ip6 - parse an IPv6 number and interface in ASCII representation SYNTAX #include <libowfat/ip6.h> int scan_ip6if(const char *src,char ip[16],uint32* scope_id); DESCRIPTION scan_ip6if parses an IPv6 number in RFC1884 ASCII representation from src and writes the result into ip. If the IPv6 number is followed by the percent sign, scan_ip6if takes the word following that, tries to parse it as network interface and writes the result to scope_id. It returns the number of bytes read from src or 0 if the parsing failed. scan_ip6if accepts upper and lower case hex letters, it understands "::" compression and partial IPv4 addresses as in "::FFFF:129.144.52.38". To allow transparent usage of IPv4 in IPv6 applications, scan_ip6if also understands IPv4 addresses in dotted-decimal notation and will re- turn an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (i.e. "127.0.0.1" will be parsed as "::FFFF:127.0.0.1". Unlike many other IP parsing routines, scan_ip6if does not recognize octal (like 0177.0.0.1) or hexadecimal numbers (like 0x7f000001) in the IPv4 part. EXAMPLE #include <libowfat/str.h> #include <libowfat/ip6.h> char buf[]="::1%lo"; char ip[16]; uint32 scope_id; if (scan_ip6if(buf,ip,&scope_id) != str_len(buf)) parse_error(); SEE ALSO fmt_ip6(3), scan_ip4(3), fmt_ip6if(3) scan_ip6if(3)
