[PATCH] connect: replace inet_ntop with getnameinfo

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



inet_ntop is not protocol independent.
getnameinfo(3) is part of POSIX and is available when getaddrinfo(3) is.
This code is only compiled when NO_IPV6 isn't defined.

The old method was buggy anyway, not every ipv6 address was converted
properly because the buffer (addr) was too small.
