fmt_ip6(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual fmt_ip6(3)

fmt_ip6 - write a formatted ASCII representation of an IPv6 number

#include <libowfat/ip6.h>

unsigned int fmt_ip6(char *dest,const char ip[16]);

fmt_ip6 formats an IPv6 number in ASCII representation from ip and writes the result into dest. It returns the number of bytes written.

fmt_ip6 will apply "::" compression to the output.

If ip is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, fmt_ip6 will output the last 4 bytes as IPv4 number in dotted-decimal notation.

If dest equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is zero), fmt_ip6 returns the number of bytes it would have written.

fmt_ip6 does not append \0.

For convenience, ip6.h defines the integer IP6_FMT to be big enough to contain every possible fmt_ip6 output plus \0.

#include <libowfat/ip6.h>

char buf[IP6_FMT]; char ip[16]; buf[fmt_ip6(buf,ip)]=0;
