Name

atalk_aton — AppleTalk address parsing

Synopsis

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <netatalk/at.h>

atalk_aton(cp, ata);
char *cp;
struct at_addr *ata;

Description

The atalk_aton() routine converts an ASCII representation of an AppleTalk address to a format appropriate for system calls. Acceptable ASCII representations include both hex and base 10, in triples or doubles. For instance, the address ‘0x1f6b.77’ has a network part of ‘8043’ and a node part of ‘119’. This same address could be written ‘8043.119’, ‘31.107.119’, or ‘0x1f.6b.77’. If the address is in hex and the first digit is one of ‘A−F’, a leading ‘0x’ is redundant.
