.TH scan_ip6 3
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
scan_ip6 \- parse an IPv6 number in ASCII representation
|
|
.SH SYNTAX
|
|
.B #include <ip6.h>
|
|
|
|
int \fBscan_ip6\fP(const char *\fIsrc\fR,char \fIip\fR[16]);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
scan_ip6 parses an IPv6 number in RFC1884 ASCII representation
|
|
from \fIsrc\fR and writes the result into \fIip\fR. It returns the
|
|
number of bytes read from \fIsrc\fR or 0 if the parsing failed.
|
|
|
|
scan_ip6 accepts upper and lower case hex letters, it understands "::"
|
|
compression and partial IPv4 addresses as in "::FFFF:129.144.52.38".
|
|
|
|
To allow transparent usage of IPv4 in IPv6 applications, scan_ip6 also
|
|
understands IPv4 addresses in dotted-decimal notation and will return
|
|
an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (i.e. "127.0.0.1" will be parsed as
|
|
"::FFFF:127.0.0.1".
|
|
|
|
Unlike many other IP parsing routines, scan_ip6 does not recognize octal
|
|
(like \fB0177.0.0.1\fR) or hexadecimal numbers (like \fB0x7f000001\fR)
|
|
in the IPv4 part.

.SH EXAMPLE

#include <str.h>

char buf[]="::1";
|
|
char ip[16];
|
|
if (scan_ip6(buf,ip) != str_len(buf))

parse_error();
