PR_NetAddrToString
==================
Converts a character string to a network address.
Syntax
------
.. code::
#include <prnetdb.h>
PRStatus PR_NetAddrToString(
const PRNetAddr *addr,
char *string,
PRUint32 size);
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
The function has the following parameters:
``addr``
A pointer to the network address to be converted.
``string``
A buffer that will hold the converted string on output.
``size``
The size of the result buffer (``string``).
Returns
~~~~~~~
The function returns one of the following values:
- If successful, ``PR_SUCCESS``.
- If unsuccessful, ``PR_FAILURE``. You can retrieve the reason for the
failure by calling :ref:`PR_GetError`.
Description
-----------
The network address to be converted (``addr``) may be either an IPv4 or
IPv6 address structure, assuming that the NSPR library and the host
system are both configured to utilize IPv6 addressing. If ``addr`` is an
IPv4 address, ``size`` needs to be at least 16. If ``addr`` is an IPv6
address, ``size`` needs to be at least 46.
