IP6(3)

💖 IP6(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the IP6(3) page from the Library Functions Manual — this is all about IP V6 address support and honestly it's a whole vibe. Let's get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ip6 — IP V6 address support. That's the name, that's the game, periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ip6.h>

char*      fmtip6(unsigned char* addr, int bits);
int        strtoip6(const char* str, char** end, unsigned char* addr, unsigned char* bits);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

• fmtip6() — formats the IPV6 address addr with optional prefix bits bits (0 if not a prefix) into a thread-specific 0-terminated temporary buffer and returns a pointer to the formatted value. It's giving "format it, hand you the pointer, slay" energy. 💖
• strtoip6() — converts a formatted IPV6 address from the 0-terminated string str into a host order IPV6 address in addr, which must be a buffer of at least IP6ADDR bytes. If bits is not 0 then an optional /bits (prefix size in bits) is parsed and *bits is set to the number of prefix bits. If end is not 0 then *end will point to the first unparsed character in str on return. It returns 0 on success, -1 on failure. fr fr, that's the whole deal. 🦋
