Hi, I was a bit stumped recently to realize that both inet_ntop() and inet_pton() work with addresses in network byte order. inet_ntop.3 mentions that, and the example from inet_pton(), as far as I can tell, implies that you can call inet_ntop() on the result of inet_pton(), so the byte order needs to match, but I think it's better to mention this explicitly in the man page text. How about this (patch against git)? diff --git a/man3/inet_pton.3 b/man3/inet_pton.3 index 4ff16b9..8b1017e 100644 --- a/man3/inet_pton.3 +++ b/man3/inet_pton.3 @@ -64,6 +64,8 @@ and copied to which must be .I sizeof(struct in_addr) (4) bytes (32 bits) long. +.IR dst +is written in network byte order. .TP .B AF_INET6 .I src Thanks, Stefan. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
