NAME

       ne_iaddr_make, ne_iaddr_cmp, ne_iaddr_print, ne_iaddr_typeof,
       ne_iaddr_free - functions to manipulate and compare network addresses

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ne_socket.h>

       typedef enum {
           ne_iaddr_ipv4 = 0,
           ne_iaddr_ipv6
       } ne_iaddr_type;

       ne_inet_addr *ne_iaddr_make(ne_iaddr_type type,
                                   const unsigned char *raw);

       int ne_iaddr_cmp(const ne_inet_addr *ia1, const ne_inet_addr *ia2);

       char *ne_iaddr_print(const ne_inet_addr *ia, char *buffer,
                            size_t bufsiz);

       ne_iaddr_type ne_iaddr_typeof(const ne_inet_addr *ia);

       void ne_iaddr_free(const ne_inet_addr *ia);

DESCRIPTION

       ne_iaddr_make creates an ne_inet_addr object from a raw binary network
       address; for instance the four bytes 0x7f 0x00 0x00 0x01 represent the
       IPv4 address 127.0.0.1. The object returned is suitable for passing to
       ne_sock_connect. A binary IPv4 address contains four bytes; a binary
       IPv6 address contains sixteen bytes; addresses passed must be in
       network byte order.

       ne_iaddr_cmp can be used to compare two network addresses; returning
       zero only if they are identical. The addresses need not be of the same
       address type; if the addresses are not of the same type, the return
       value is guaranteed to be non-zero.

       ne_iaddr_print can be used to print the human-readable string
       representation of a network address into a buffer, for instance the
       string "127.0.0.1".

       ne_iaddr_typeof returns the type of the given network address.

       ne_iaddr_free releases the memory associated with a network address
       object.

RETURN VALUE

       ne_iaddr_make returns NULL if the address type passed is not supported
       (for instance on a platform which does not support IPv6).

       ne_iaddr_print returns the buffer pointer, and never NULL.

EXAMPLES

       The following example connects a socket to port 80 at the address
       127.0.0.1.

           unsigned char addr[] = "\0x7f\0x00\0x00\0x01";
           ne_inet_addr *ia;

           ia = ne_iaddr_make(ne_iaddr_ipv4, addr);
           if (ia != NULL) {
               ne_socket *sock = ne_sock_connect(ia, 80);
               ne_iaddr_free(ia);
               /* ... */
           } else {
               /* ... */
           }
