Not here it doesn't.
>From the Linux inet_aton man page:
inet_aton() converts the Internet host address cp from the
standard numbers-and-dots notation into binary data and
stores it in the structure that inp points to. inet_aton
returns nonzero if the address is valid, zero if not.
>From the Linux libc info page:
- Function: int inet_aton (const char *NAME, struct in_addr *ADDR)
This function converts the Internet host address NAME from the
standard numbers-and-dots notation into binary data and stores it
in the `struct in_addr' that ADDR points to. `inet_aton' returns
nonzero if the address is valid, zero if not.
>From the IRIX man page:
The inet_aton routine interprets the specified character
string as an Internet address, placing the address into the structure
provided. It returns 1 if the string was successfully interpreted, or 0
if the string is invalid.
I've attached the inet_aton() compatibility routine I use in ORBit, in
case it is of any use...
