add Specifies a pointer to a structure of the type dn_naddr, which contains the node address.

Return Argument

dn_naddr
Specifies the node address structure. The following fields are filled in by this subroutine:

a_len Specifies the length of the returned node address. 

a_add Specifies the node address. 

DESCRIPTION

The dnet_ntoa subroutine converts a 16-bit binary node address to its ASCII string representation (area.number). 

RETURN VALUE

A pointer to the ASCII string representation of the DECnet node address is returned. 

RESTRICTIONS
