(shortend format, etc) Current KAME getaddrinfo() supports only d.d.d.d format IPv4 addr. But traditionally inet_aton() and etc support other formats. (shortend format and octal/deciaml/hex format) Aboud this, -As far as the discussion on freebsd-current, many people think traditional format should also be supported by getaddrinfo(). -X/Open spec requires getaddrinfo() also support those traditional IPv4 format. -RFC2553 say nothing about it. -As the result of confirmation in ietf/ipng list, there is no clear concensus yet, and the reply was, "RFC2553 update and X/Open spec will be in sync" So takeing these conditions into account, I think getaddrinfo() should also support traditional IPv4 format.
