Detailed Description

Typedef Documentation

ipv4port

typedef uint16 ipv4port

IPv4 port number.

Function Documentation

fmt_ipv4addr()

unsigned fmt_ipv4addr ( char * buffer, const ipv4addr * addr )

extern

Produce a formatted string from an IPv4 address.

The given buffer must be at least 15 bytes long, or 16 bytes if it needs to contain the standard trailing NUL byte.

Returns

The number of bytes written to the buffer.

Note

This routine is thread and recursion safe.

fmt_ipv4addr_reverse()

unsigned fmt_ipv4addr_reverse ( char * buffer, const ipv4addr * addr )

extern

Produce a reverse-formatted string from an IPv4 address.

The given buffer must be at least 15 bytes long, or 16 bytes if it needs to contain the standard trailing NUL byte.

Returns

The number of bytes written to the buffer.

Note

This routine is thread and recursion safe.

ipv4_format()

const char * ipv4_format ( const ipv4addr * addr )

extern

Produce a formatted C string from an IPv4 address.

Note

The return value is statically allocated. Multiple calls to this function will return pointers to the same string.

References fmt_ipv4addr().

ipv4_format_reverse()

const char * ipv4_format_reverse ( const ipv4addr * addr )

extern

Produce a reverse-formatted C string from an IPv4 address.

Note

The return value is statically allocated. Multiple calls to this function will return pointers to the same string.

References fmt_ipv4addr_reverse().

ipv4_parse()

int ipv4_parse ( const char * start, ipv4addr * addr, const char ** end )

extern

Parse an IPv4 address.

Deprecated

This function is a wrapper for ipv4_scan.

Returns

Non-zero (true) if parsing succeeded, and sets *end to the first character past the end of the address.

References ipv4_scan().

ipv4_scan()

const char * ipv4_scan ( const char * start, ipv4addr * addr )

extern

Scan a C string for an IPv4 address.

Returns

NULL if parsing failed, otherwise a pointer to the first character after the end of the address.
