Returns

• Long network integer

This function converts the unsigned integer hostlong from host byte order to network byte order. For Wi-SUN, the conversion is not needed. Dummy implementation

Returns

• 1 on succes, -1 if an error occurred. (POSIX described the 0 value too)

This function converts the character string src into a network address structure in the af address family, then copies the network address structure to dst. AF_INET (IPv4) case not supported.

const char * inet_ntop (int32_t af, const void *src, char *dst, socklen_t size)

Convert IPv6 addresses from binary to text form.

Returns

• It returns a non-null pointer to dst. NULL if an error occurred.

Converts the network address structure src in the af address family into a character string. The resulting string is copied to the buffer pointed to by dst, which must be a non-null pointer. The caller specifies the number of bytes available in this buffer in the argument size. AF_INET (IPv4) case not supported.

APP_LEVEL_SOCKET#
