#include <arpa/inet.h>
DESCRIPTION
The in_port_t and in_addr_t types shall be defined as described in
<netinet/in.h> .
The in_addr structure shall be defined as described in <netinet/in.h> .
The INET_ADDRSTRLEN and INET6_ADDRSTRLEN macros shall be defined as

uint32_t htonl(uint32_t);
uint16_t htons(uint16_t);
uint32_t ntohl(uint32_t);
uint16_t ntohs(uint16_t);
The uint32_t and uint16_t types shall be defined 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>.
