man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;
.\" $Id$

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

|
|
.Nm iso_ntoa
|
|
.Nd "elementary network address conversion routines for Open System Interconnection
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <netiso/iso.h>
|
|
.Ft struct iso_addr *
|
|
.Fn iso_addr "char *cp"
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn iso_ntoa "struct iso_addr *isoa"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The routine
|
|
.Fn iso_addr
|
|
interprets character strings representing
|
|
.Tn OSI
|
|
addresses, returning binary information suitable
|
|
for use in system calls.
|
|
The routine
|
|
.Fn iso_ntoa
|
|
takes
|
|
.Tn OSI
|
|
addresses and returns
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
strings representing NSAPs (network service
|
|
access points) in a
|
|
notation inverse to that accepted by
|
|
.Fn iso_addr .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Unfortunately, no universal standard exists for representing
|
|
.Tn OSI
|
|
network addresses.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The format employed by
|
|
.Fn iso_addr
|
|
is a sequence of hexadecimal
|
|
.Dq digits
|
|
(optionally separated by periods),
|
|
of the form:
|
|
.Bd -filled -offset indent
|
|
<hex digits>.<hex digits>.<hex digits>
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each pair of hexadecimal digits represents a byte
|
|
with the leading digit indicating the higher-ordered bits.
|
|
A period following an even number of bytes has no
|
|
effect (but may be used to increase legibility).
|
|
A period following an odd number of bytes has the
|
|
effect of causing the byte of address being translated
|
|
to have its higher order bits filled with zeros.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn iso_ntoa
|
|
always returns a null terminated string.
|
|
.Fn iso_addr
|
|
always returns a pointer to a struct iso_addr.
|
|

|
|
.Sx BUGS . )

|
|
.Xr iso 4
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn iso_addr
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn iso_ntoa
|
|
functions appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.3 Reno .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The returned values
|
|
reside in a static memory area.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn iso_addr
|
|
should diagnose improperly formed input, and there should be an unambiguous
|
|
way to recognize this.
