atalk_aton(3)

NAME

atalk_aton – AppleTalk address parsing

SYNOPSIS


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