fmt_ip6_flat(3)		   Library Functions Manual	       fmt_ip6_flat(3)

NAME
       fmt_ip6_flat - write a formatted	ASCII representation of	an IPv6	number

SYNTAX
       #include	<libowfat/ip6.h>

       unsigned	int fmt_ip6_flat(char *dest,const char ip[16]);

DESCRIPTION
       fmt_ip6_flat formats an IPv6 number in a	flat ASCII representation from
       ip  and	writes	the  result  into dest.	It returns the number of bytes
       written (always 32).

       This representation does	not contain colons and is meant	to  be	easily
       machine-readable.   Use	fmt_ip6	 for the normal	(standard) representa-
       tion.  This function is meant for places	which use colons  to  separate
       fields and thus have problems interpreting the standard IPv6 notation.

       If  dest	equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is	zero), fmt_ip6_flat returns the	number
       of bytes	it would have written.

       fmt_ip6_flat does not append \0.

       For convenience,	ip6.h defines the integer IP6_FMT to be	big enough  to
       contain every possible fmt_ip6_flat output plus \0.

EXAMPLE
       #include	<libowfat/ip6.h>

	 char buf[IP6_FMT];
	 char ip[16];
	 buf[fmt_ip6_flat(buf,ip)]=0;
