inet(5)                                                             inet(5)

NAME
     inet - definitions for internet operations

SYNOPSIS
     #include <arpa/inet.h>

DESCRIPTION
     The <arpa/inet.h> header defines the type inportt and the type
     inaddrt as defined in <netinet/in.h>.

     The <arpa/inet.h> header defines the inaddr structure as defined in
     <netinet/in.h>.

     The following may be declared as functions, or defined as macros, or
     both:

     inaddrt      htonl(inaddrt hostlong);
     inportt      htons(inportt hostshort);
     inaddrt      ntohl(inaddrt netlong);
     inportt      ntohs(inportt netshort);

     The following are declared as functions, and may also be defined as
     macros:

     inaddrt      inetaddr(const char *cp);
     inaddrt      inetlnaof(struct inaddr in);
     struct inaddr inetmakeaddr(inaddrt net, inaddrt lna);
     inaddrt      inetnetof(struct inaddr in);
     inaddrt      inetnetwork(const char *cp);
     char          *inetntoa(struct inaddr in);

     Inclusion of the <arpa/inet.h> header may also make visible all sym-
     bols from <netinet/in.h>.
