ARES_INET_NTOP(3)	    Library Functions Manual	       ARES_INET_NTOP(3)

NAME
     ares_inet_ntop - convert a network format address to presentation format

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ares.h>

     const char *ares_inet_ntop(int af, const void *src, char *dst,
				ares_socklen_t size);

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

     The ares_inet_ntop() function converts a numeric address into a text string
     suitable  for presentation. The af argument shall specify the family of the
     address. This can be AF_INET or AF_INET6.	The src  argument  points  to  a
     buffer  holding  an  IPv4 address if the af argument is AF_INET, or an IPv6
     address if the af argument is AF_INET6; the address must be in network byte
     order. The dst argument points to a buffer where the  function  stores  the
     resulting	text  string;  it shall not be NULL. The size argument specifies
     the size of this buffer, which shall be  large  enough  to  hold  the  text
     string  (INET_ADDRSTRLEN  (16)  characters  for IPv4, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN (46)
     characters for IPv6).
