You're entering land of weird, misdocumentation and bugs.

Mostly the input is done by a library implementing the Posix
version of fprintf or fscanf.
10 = 10, 0xa, 012
010 = 8, 0x8, 010
0x10 = 16, 0x10, 020
and there are others. google( fscanf )
Mostly everything understands fscanf syntax.

Prefixing the octet with 0 makes it interpret it as octal, not decimal.
Pretty typical on a UNIX system.

The leading '0' is telling the box to interpret it as octal instead of
decimal or hex.

(1010,101,22,20,14,13,12,11,10,A)
Looks base 8 to me.

010 is how C represents an octal number. This one is known in decimal as 8.
Obviously, what Greg meant to type was:
$ ping 012.0xA.10.1
PING 012.0xA.10.1 (10.10.10.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

My guess you're seeing an interface that uses inet_addr() instead
of inet_pton(); the latter is used more nowadays at
See man inet.
All numbers supplied as ``parts'' in a `.' notation may be decimal,
octal, or hexadecimal, as specified in the C language (i.e., a leading 0x
or 0X implies hexadecimal; otherwise, a leading 0 implies octal; other-
wise, the number is interpreted as decimal).
