inet_pton函数

inet_pton - convert IPv4 and IPv6 addresses from text to binary form。

函数原型

#include <arpa/inet.h>

int inet_pton(int af, const char *src, void *dst);

函数说明

This function converts the character string src into a network address structure in the af address family, then copies the network address structure to dst.  The af argument must be either AF_INET or AF_INET6.  dst is written in network byte order.

返回值

inet_pton() returns 1 on success (network address was successfully converted).  0 is returned if src does not contain a character string representing a valid network address in the specified address family. If af does not contain a valid address family, -1 is returned and errno is set to EAFNOSUPPORT.

e.g.

inet_pton(AF_INET,servInetAddr,&sockaddr.sin_addr);
