+.Sh NAME
+.Nm inet_ntop ,
+.Nm inet_pton
+.Nd convert Internet addresses between presentation and network formats
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In arpa/inet.h
+.Ft const char *
+.Fn inet_ntop "int af" "const void * restrict src" "char * restrict dst" "socklen_t size"
+.Ft int
+.Fn inet_pton "int af" "const char * restrict src" "void * restrict dst"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn inet_pton
+function converts a presentation format address (that is, printable form
+as held in a character string) to network format (usually a
+.Li struct in_addr
+or some other internal binary representation, in network byte order).
+It returns 1 if the address was valid for the specified address family;
+0 if the address wasn't parseable in the specified address family; or \-1
+if some system error occurred (in which case
+.Va errno
+will have been set).
+This function is presently valid for
+.Dv AF_INET
+and
+.Dv AF_INET6 .
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn inet_ntop
+converts an address from network format to presentation format.
+It returns
+.Dv NULL
+if a system
+error occurs (in which case,
+.Va errno
+will have been set), or it returns a pointer to the destination string.
+.Pp
+All Internet addresses are returned in network
+order (bytes ordered from left to right).
+.Sh INTERNET ADDRESSES (IP VERSION 4)
+Values must be specified using the standard dot notation:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+a.b.c.d
+.Ed
+.Pp
+All four parts must be decimal numbers between 0 and 255, inclusive.
+.Sh INTERNET ADDRESSES (IP VERSION 6)
+In order to support scoped IPv6 addresses,
+.Xr getaddrinfo 3
+and
+.Xr getnameinfo 3
+are recommended rather than the functions presented here.
+.Pp
+The presentation format of an IPv6 address is given in RFC 4291:
+.Pp
+There are three conventional forms for representing IPv6 addresses as
+text strings:
+.Bl -enum
+.It
+The preferred form is x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x, where the 'x's are the
+hexadecimal values of the eight 16-bit pieces of the address.
+Examples:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210
+1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Note that it is not necessary to write the leading zeros in an
+individual field, but there must be at least one numeral in
+every field (except for the case described in 2.).
+.It
+Due to the method of allocating certain styles of IPv6
+addresses, it will be common for addresses to contain long
+strings of zero bits.
+In order to make writing addresses
+containing zero bits easier, a special syntax is available to
+compress the zeros.
+The use of
+.Dq \&:\&:
+indicates multiple groups
+of 16 bits of zeros.
+The
+.Dq \&:\&:
+can only appear once in an
+address.
+The
+.Dq \&:\&:
+can also be used to compress the leading and/or trailing zeros in an address.
+.Pp
+For example the following addresses:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A  a unicast address
+FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:43         a multicast address
+0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1             the loopback address
+0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0             the unspecified addresses
+.Ed
+.Pp
+may be represented as:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+1080::8:800:200C:417A       a unicast address
+FF01::43                    a multicast address
+::1                         the loopback address
+::                          the unspecified addresses
+.Ed
+.It
+An alternative form that is sometimes more convenient when
+dealing with a mixed environment of IPv4 and IPv6 nodes is
+x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d, where the 'x's are the hexadecimal values
+of the six high-order 16-bit pieces of the address, and the 'd's
+are the decimal values of the four low-order 8-bit pieces of the
+address (standard IPv4 representation).
+Examples:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+0:0:0:0:0:0:13.1.68.3
+0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:129.144.52.38
+.Ed
+.Pp
+or in compressed form:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+::13.1.68.3
+::FFFF:129.144.52.38

+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Nm inet_ntop
+and
+.Nm inet_pton
+functions conform to the IETF IPv6 BSD API and address formatting
+specifications, as well as
+.St -p1003.1-2008 .
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm inet_pton
+and
+.Nm inet_ntop
+functions appeared in BIND 4.9.4.
+.Sh CAVEATS
+Note that
+.Nm inet_pton
+does not accept 1-, 2-, or 3-part dotted addresses;
+all four parts must be specified and must be in decimal
+(and not octal or hexadecimal).
+This is a narrower input set than that accepted by
+.Nm inet_aton .
