Apparently inet_pton doesn't support abbreviated/shortened/classful ipv4 addresses at all, but inet_aton does. Since the function only deals with AF_INET anyway maybe using inet_aton "to increse backwards compatability" (please those who still want to use the format) could be considered? (This will still not restore the 10/8 format which apparently used to work in iproute, so people would have to settle for 10.0/8) (See http://bugs.debian.org/497011) diff --git a/lib/utils.c b/lib/utils.c index a88f82b..21cf0ea 100644 --- a/lib/utils.c +++ b/lib/utils.c @@ -284,7 +284,7 @@ int get_addr_1(inet_prefix *addr, const char *name, int family) addr->family = AF_INET; if (family != AF_UNSPEC && family != AF_INET) return -1; - if (inet_pton(AF_INET, name, addr->data) <= 0) + if (inet_aton(name, addr->data) <= 0) return -1; addr->bytelen = 4; addr->bitlen = -1; -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
