NAME¶
scan_ip6_flat - parse an IPv6 number in flat ASCII representation
SYNTAX¶
#include <libowfat/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 <libowfat/str.h>
#include <libowfat/ip6.h>
char buf[]="00000000000000000000000000000001";
char ip[16];
if (scan_ip6_flat(buf,ip) != str_len(buf))
parse_error();
