NAME

inet6_rth_reverse − Reverse the order of addresses in an IPv6 Routing header

SYNOPSIS

#include <netinet/ip6.h>
int inet6_rth_reverse(
        const void ∗in,
        void ∗out );

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc)

PARAMETERS

inPoints to a buffer that contains an IPv6 Routing header. 

outPoints to a buffer that is to contain the Routing header with the reversed addresses. This parameter can point to the same buffer specified by in. 

DESCRIPTION

The inet6_rth_reverse() function reads an IPv6 Routing header and writes a new Routing header, reversing the order of addresses in the new header. The in and out parameters can point to the same buffer. 

The function sets the ip60r_segleft member in the ip6_rthdr0 structure to the number of segments (addresses) in the new header. The ip6_rthdr0 structure is defined in netinet/ip6.h. 

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, the inet6_rth_reverse() function returns 0 (zero). Upon failure, it returns a -1. 

SEE ALSO

Functions: inet6_rth_add(3), inet6_rth_getaddr(3), inet6_rth_init(3), inet6_rth_segments(3), inet6_rth_space(3).
