ATALK_ATON

NAME

atalk_aton − AppleTalk address parsing

SYNOPSIS

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

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.
