PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
arpa/inet.h -- definitions for internet operations
SYNOPSIS
#include <arpa/inet.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <arpa/inet.h> header shall define the in_port_t and in_addr_t types
as described in <netinet/in.h>.
The <arpa/inet.h> header shall define the in_addr structure as
described in <netinet/in.h>.
The <arpa/inet.h> header shall define the INET_ADDRSTRLEN and
INET6_ADDRSTRLEN macros as described in <netinet/in.h>.
The following shall be declared as functions, or defined as macros, or
both. If functions are declared, function prototypes shall be provided.
uint32_t htonl(uint32_t);
uint16_t htons(uint16_t);
uint32_t ntohl(uint32_t);
uint16_t ntohs(uint16_t);
The <arpa/inet.h> header shall define the uint32_t and uint16_t types
as described in <inttypes.h>.
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
in_addr_t inet_addr(const char *);
char *inet_ntoa(struct in_addr);
const char *inet_ntop(int, const void *restrict, char *restrict,
socklen_t);
int inet_pton(int, const char *restrict, void *restrict);
Inclusion of the <arpa/inet.h> header may also make visible all symbols
from <netinet/in.h> and <inttypes.h>.
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
