.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The routine
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn ipx_addr
|
|
|
|
|
interprets character strings representing
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn IPX
|
|
|
|
|
addresses, returning binary information suitable
|
|
|
|
|
for use in system calls.
|
|
|
|
|
The routine
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn ipx_ntoa
|
|
|
|
|
takes
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn IPX
|
|
|
|
|
addresses and returns
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
|
|
|
strings representing the address in a
|
|
|
|
|
notation in common use:

.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Trailing zero fields are suppressed, and each number is printed in hexadecimal,
|
2001-07-15 07:53:42 +00:00
|
|
|
in a format suitable for input to
|
1995-10-26 20:31:59 +00:00
|
|
|
.Fn ipx_addr .
|
|
|
|
|
Any fields lacking super-decimal digits will have a
|
|
|
|
|
trailing
|
|
|
|
|
.Ql H
|
|
|
|
|
appended.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
An effort has been made to insure that
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn ipx_addr
|
|
|
|
|
be compatible with most formats in common use.
|
|
|
|
|
It will first separate an address into 1 to 3 fields using a single delimiter
|
|
|
|
|
chosen from
|
|
|
|
|
period
|
|
|
|
|
.Ql \&. ,
|
|
|
|
|
colon
|
|
|
|
|
.Ql \&:
|
|
|
|
|
or pound-sign
|
|
|
|
|
.Ql \&# .
|
|
|
|
|
Each field is then examined for byte separators (colon or period).
|
|
|
|
|
If there are byte separators, each subfield separated is taken to be
|
|
|
|
|
a small hexadecimal number, and the entirety is taken as a network-byte-ordered
|
|
|
|
|
quantity to be zero extended in the high-network-order bytes.
|
|
|
|
|
Next, the field is inspected for hyphens, in which case
|
|
|
|
|
the field is assumed to be a number in decimal notation
|
2004-12-29 02:18:24 +00:00
|
|
|
with hyphens separating the millennia.
|
1995-10-26 20:31:59 +00:00
|
|
|
Next, the field is assumed to be a number:
|
|
|
|
|
It is interpreted
|
|
|
|
|
as hexadecimal if there is a leading
|
|
|
|
|
.Ql 0x
|
|
|
|
|
(as in C),
|
|
|
|
|
a trailing
|
|
|
|
|
.Ql H
|
|
|
|
|
(as in Mesa), or there are any super-decimal digits present.
|
2003-06-08 19:41:58 +00:00
|
|
|
It is interpreted as octal if there is a leading
|
1995-10-26 20:31:59 +00:00
|
|
|
.Ql 0
|
|
|
|
|
and there are no super-octal digits.
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, it is converted as a decimal number.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
|
|
|
The string returned by
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn ipx_ntoa
|
|
|
|
|
resides in a static memory area.
|
|
|
|
|
The function
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn ipx_addr
|
|
|
|
|
should diagnose improperly formed input, and there should be an unambiguous
|
|
|
|
|
way to recognize this.
