ARES_INET_PTON(3)	    Library Functions Manual	       ARES_INET_PTON(3)

NAME
     ares_inet_pton - convert an IPv4 or IPv6 address from text to binary form

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ares.h>

     int ares_inet_pton(int af, const char *src, void *dst);

DESCRIPTION
     This is a portable version with the identical functionality of the commonly
     available inet_pton.

     The  ares_inet_pton()  function  converts	the address in its standard text
     presentation form into its numeric binary form. The af argument shall spec-
     ify the family of the address. The AF_INET and  AF_INET6  address	families
     shall  be supported. The src argument points to the string being passed in.
     The dst argument points to a buffer into which the function stores the  nu-
     meric  address;  this shall be large enough to hold the numeric address (32
     bits for AF_INET, 128 bits for AF_INET6).

     It returns 1 if the address was valid for the specified address family,  or
     0	if  the address was not parseable in the specified address family, or -1
     if some system error occurred (in which case errno will have been set).
