man scan_ip6_flat () - parse an IPv6 number in flat ASCII representation
NAME
scan_ip6_flat - parse an IPv6 number in flat ASCII representation
SYNTAX
#include <ip6.h>
int scan_ip6_flat(const char *src,char ip[16]);
DESCRIPTION
scan_ip6_flat parses an IPv6 number in flat ASCII representation from src and writes the result into ip. It returns the number of bytes read from src or 0 if the parsing failed.
scan_ip6_flat accepts upper and lower case hex letters.
The flat representation should have been output by fmt_ip6_flat.
EXAMPLE
#include <str.h>
#include <ip6.h>
char buf[]="00000000000000000000000000000001"; char ip[16]; if (scan_ip6_flat(buf,ip) != str_len(buf)) parse_error();
