.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
\fBne_iaddr_make\fR creates an \fBne_inet_addr\fR 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 \fBne_sock_connect\fR\&. A binary IPv4 address contains four bytes; a binary IPv6 address contains sixteen bytes; addresses passed must be in network byte order\&.

.PP
\fBne_iaddr_cmp\fR 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\&.

.PP
\fBne_iaddr_print\fR 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"\&.

.PP
\fBne_iaddr_typeof\fR returns the type of the given network address\&.

.PP
\fBne_iaddr_free\fR releases the memory associated with a network address object\&.

.SH "RETURN VALUE"

.PP
\fBne_iaddr_make\fR returns NULL if the address type passed is not supported (for instance on a platform which does not support IPv6)\&.

.PP
\fBne_iaddr_print\fR returns the \fIbuffer\fR pointer, and never NULL\&.

.SH "EXAMPLES"

.PP
The following example connects a socket to port 80 at the address 127\&.0\&.0\&.1\&.

.nf
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 {
    /* \&.\&.\&. */
}
.fi
