ares_inet_pton - convert an IPv4 or IPv6 address from text to binary form
#include <ares.h>
const char *ares_inet_pton(int af, const char *src, void *dst);
This is a portable version with the identical functionality of the commonly
available inet_pton.
The ares_inet_pton() function converts the address in its standard
text presentation form into its numeric binary form. The af argument
shall specify the family of the address. The AF_INET and AF_INET6 address
families shall be supported. The src argument points to the string
being passed in. The dst argument points to a buffer into which the
function stores the numeric address; this shall be large enough to hold the
numeric address (32 bits for AF_INET, 128 bits for AF_INET6).
