Modified Files:
src/lib/libc/inet: inet.3
Log Message:
- Further clarify differences between inet_pton() and inet_aton()
(i.e. the former only accepts decimal numbers; no octal or hex)
- Clarify that inet_network() does not do byte rearrangement for one,
two, and three part dotted addresses ala inet_aton() and inet_addr().
- whitespace
