  <refsection><info><title>DESCRIPTION</title></info>


    <para><function>lwres_net_ntop()</function>
      converts an IP address of protocol family
      <parameter>af</parameter> &mdash; IPv4 or IPv6 &mdash; at
      location <parameter>src</parameter> from network format to its
      conventional representation as a string.  For IPv4 addresses,
      that string would be a dotted-decimal.  An IPv6 address would be
      represented in colon notation as described in RFC1884.
    </para>

    <para>
      The generated string is copied to <parameter>dst</parameter>
      provided
      <parameter>size</parameter> indicates it is long enough to
      store the
      ASCII representation of the address.
    </para>

  <refsection><info><title>RETURN VALUES</title></info>


    <para>
      If successful, the function returns <parameter>dst</parameter>:
      a pointer to a string containing the presentation format of the
      address.  <function>lwres_net_ntop()</function> returns
      <type>NULL</type> and sets the global variable
      <constant>errno</constant> to <errorcode>EAFNOSUPPORT</errorcode> if
      the protocol family given in <parameter>af</parameter> is
      not
      supported.
