<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
||||
|
||||
These functions are obsolete; see
|
||||
<I><A HREF="ipsec_ttoaddr.3.html">ipsec_ttoaddr</A></I>(3)
|
||||
|
||||
for their replacements.
|

<P>
|
||||
|
||||
<I>Atoaddr</I>
|
||||
|
||||
converts an ASCII name or dotted-decimal address into a binary address
|
||||
(in network byte order).
|
||||
<I>Addrtoa</I>
|
||||
|
||||
does the reverse conversion, back to an ASCII dotted-decimal address.
|
||||
<I>Atosubnet</I>
|
||||
|
||||
and
|
||||
<I>subnettoa</I>
|
||||
|
||||
do likewise for the ``address/mask'' ASCII form used to write a
|
||||
specification of a subnet.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
An address is specified in ASCII as a
|
||||
dotted-decimal address (e.g.
|
||||
<B>1.2.3.4</B>),
|
||||
|
||||
an eight-digit network-order hexadecimal number with the usual C prefix (e.g.
|
||||
<B>0x01020304</B>,
|
||||
|
||||
which is synonymous with
|
||||
<B>1.2.3.4</B>),
|
||||
|
||||
an eight-digit host-order hexadecimal number with a
|
||||
<B>0h</B>
|
||||
|
||||
prefix (e.g.
|
||||
<B>0h01020304</B>,
|
||||
|
||||
which is synonymous with
|
||||
<B>1.2.3.4</B>
|
||||
|
||||
on a big-endian host and
|
||||
<B>4.3.2.1</B>
|
||||
|
||||
on a little-endian host),
|
||||
a DNS name to be looked up via
|
||||
<I><A HREF="gethostbyname.3.html">gethostbyname</A></I>(3),
|
||||
|
||||
or an old-style network name to be looked up via
|
||||
<I><A HREF="getnetbyname.3.html">getnetbyname</A></I>(3).
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
A dotted-decimal address may be incomplete, in which case
|
||||
ASCII-to-binary conversion implicitly appends
|
||||
as many instances of
|
||||
<B>.0</B>
|
||||
|
||||
as necessary to bring it up to four components.
|
||||
The components of a dotted-decimal address are always taken as
|
||||
decimal, and leading zeros are ignored.
|
||||
For example,
|
||||
<B>10</B>
|
||||
|
||||
is synonymous with
|
||||
<B>10.0.0.0</B>,
|
||||
|
||||
and
|
||||
<B>128.009.000.032</B>
|
||||
|
||||
is synonymous with
|
||||
<B>128.9.0.32</B>
|
||||
|
||||
(the latter example is verbatim from RFC 1166).
|
||||
The result of
|
||||
<I>addrtoa</I>
|
||||
|
||||
is always complete and does not contain leading zeros.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
The letters in
|
||||
a hexadecimal address may be uppercase or lowercase or any mixture thereof.
|
||||
Use of hexadecimal addresses is
|
||||
<B>strongly</B>
|
||||
|
||||
<B>discouraged</B>;
|
||||
|
||||
they are included only to save hassles when dealing with
|
||||
the handful of perverted programs which already print
|
||||
network addresses in hexadecimal.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
DNS names may be complete (optionally terminated with a ``.'')
|
||||
or incomplete, and are looked up as specified by local system configuration
|
||||
(see
|
||||
<I><A HREF="resolver.5.html">resolver</A></I>(5)).
|
||||
|
||||
The
|
||||
<I>h_addr</I>
|
||||
|
||||
value returned by
|
||||
<I><A HREF="gethostbyname.3.html">gethostbyname</A></I>(3)
|
||||
|
||||
is used,
|
||||
so with current DNS implementations,
|
||||
the result when the name corresponds to more than one address is
|
||||
difficult to predict.
|
||||
Name lookup resorts to
|
||||
<I><A HREF="getnetbyname.3.html">getnetbyname</A></I>(3)
|
||||
|
||||
only if
|
||||
<I><A HREF="gethostbyname.3.html">gethostbyname</A></I>(3)
|
||||
|
||||
fails.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
A subnet specification is of the form <I>network</I><B>/</B><I>mask</I>.
|
||||
The
|
||||
<I>network</I>
|
||||
|
||||
and
|
||||
<I>mask</I>
|
||||
|
||||
can be any form acceptable to
|
||||
<I>atoaddr</I>.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, the
|
||||
<I>mask</I>
|
||||
|
||||
can be a decimal integer (leading zeros ignored) giving a bit count,
|
||||
in which case
|
||||
it stands for a mask with that number of high bits on and all others off
|
||||
(e.g.,
|
||||
<B>24</B>
|
||||
|
||||
means
|
||||
<B>255.255.255.0</B>).
|
||||
|
||||
In any case, the mask must be contiguous
|
||||
(a sequence of high bits on and all remaining low bits off).
|
||||
As a special case, the subnet specification
|
||||
<B>%default</B>
|
||||
|
||||
is a synonym for
|
||||
<B>0.0.0.0/0</B>.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
<I>Atosubnet</I>
|
||||
|
||||
ANDs the mask with the address before returning,
|
||||
so that any non-network bits in the address are turned off
|
||||
(e.g.,
|
||||
<B>10.1.2.3/24</B>
|
||||
|
||||
is synonymous with
|
||||
<B>10.1.2.0/24</B>).
|
||||
|
||||
<I>Subnettoa</I>
|
||||
|
||||
generates the decimal-integer-bit-count
|
||||
form of the mask,
|
||||
with no leading zeros,
|
||||
unless the mask is non-contiguous.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
The
|
||||
<I>srclen</I>
|
||||
|
||||
parameter of
|
||||
<I>atoaddr</I>
|
||||
|
||||
and
|
||||
<I>atosubnet</I>
|
||||
|
||||
specifies the length of the ASCII string pointed to by
|
||||
<I>src</I>;
|
||||
|
||||
it is an error for there to be anything else
|
||||
(e.g., a terminating NUL) within that length.
|
||||
As a convenience for cases where an entire NUL-terminated string is
|
||||
to be converted,
|
||||
a
|
||||
<I>srclen</I>
|
||||
|
||||
value of
|
||||
<B>0</B>
|
||||
|
||||
is taken to mean
|
||||
<B>strlen(src)</B>.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
The
|
||||
<I>dstlen</I>
|
||||
|
||||
parameter of
|
||||
<I>addrtoa</I>
|
||||
|
||||
and
|
||||
<I>subnettoa</I>
|
||||
|
||||
specifies the size of the
|
||||
<I>dst</I>
|
||||
|
||||
parameter;
|
||||
under no circumstances are more than
|
||||
<I>dstlen</I>
|
||||
|
||||
bytes written to
|
||||
<I>dst</I>.
|
||||
|
||||
A result which will not fit is truncated.
|
||||
<I>Dstlen</I>
|
||||
|
||||
can be zero, in which case
|
||||
<I>dst</I>
|
||||
|
||||
need not be valid and no result is written,
|
||||
but the return value is unaffected;
|
||||
in all other cases, the (possibly truncated) result is NUL-terminated.
|
||||
The
|
||||
<I>freeswan.h</I>
|
||||
|
||||
header file defines constants,
|
||||
<B>ADDRTOA_BUF</B>
|
||||
|
||||
and
|
||||
<B>SUBNETTOA_BUF</B>,
|
||||
|
||||
which are the sizes of buffers just large enough for worst-case results.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
The
|
||||
<I>format</I>
|
||||
|
||||
parameter of
|
||||
<I>addrtoa</I>
|
||||
|
||||
and
|
||||
<I>subnettoa</I>
|
||||
|
||||
specifies what format is to be used for the conversion.
|
||||
The value
|
||||
<B>0</B>
|
||||
|
||||
(not the ASCII character
|
||||
<B>'0'</B>,
|
||||
|
||||
but a zero value)
|
||||
specifies a reasonable default,
|
||||
and is in fact the only format currently available.
|
||||
This parameter is a hedge against future needs.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
The ASCII-to-binary functions return NULL for success and
|
||||
a pointer to a string-literal error message for failure;
|
||||
see DIAGNOSTICS.
|
||||
The binary-to-ASCII functions return
|
||||
<B>0</B>
|
||||
|
||||
for a failure, and otherwise
|
||||
always return the size of buffer which would
|
||||
be needed to
|
||||
accommodate the full conversion result, including terminating NUL;
|
||||
it is the caller's responsibility to check this against the size of
|
||||
the provided buffer to determine whether truncation has occurred.

|

|
||||
The interpretation of incomplete dotted-decimal addresses
|
||||
(e.g.
|
||||
<B>10/24</B>
|
||||
|
||||
means
|
||||
<B>10.0.0.0/24</B>)
|
||||
|
||||
differs from that of some older conversion
|
||||
functions, e.g. those of
|
||||
<I><A HREF="inet.3.html">inet</A></I>(3).
|
||||
|
||||
The behavior of the older functions has never been
|
||||
particularly consistent or particularly useful.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
Ignoring leading zeros in dotted-decimal components and bit counts
|
||||
is arguably the most useful behavior in this application,
|
||||
but it might occasionally cause confusion with the historical use of leading
|
||||
zeros to denote octal numbers.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
It is barely possible that somebody, somewhere,
|
||||
might have a legitimate use for non-contiguous subnet masks.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
<I><A HREF="Getnetbyname.3.html">Getnetbyname</A></I>(3)
|
||||
|
||||
is a historical dreg.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
The restriction of ASCII-to-binary error reports to literal strings
|
||||
(so that callers don't need to worry about freeing them or copying them)
|
||||
does limit the precision of error reporting.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
The ASCII-to-binary error-reporting convention lends itself
|
||||
to slightly obscure code,
|
||||
because many readers will not think of NULL as signifying success.
|
||||
A good way to make it clearer is to write something like:
