ARES_INET_NTOP(3)	   Library Functions Manual	     ARES_INET_NTOP(3)

NAME
       ares_inet_ntop  - convert a network format address to presentation for-
       mat

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 com-
       monly 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	 argu-
       ment  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) charac-
       ters for	IPv4, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN (46) characters for IPv6).
