40.SH "DESCRIPTION"
41.PP
42\fBlwres_net_ntop()\fR
43converts an IP address of protocol family
44\fIaf\fR
45\(em IPv4 or IPv6 \(em at location
46\fIsrc\fR
47from 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.
48.PP
49The generated string is copied to
50\fIdst\fR
51provided
52\fIsize\fR
53indicates it is long enough to store the ASCII representation of the address.
54.SH "RETURN VALUES"
55.PP
56If successful, the function returns
57\fIdst\fR: a pointer to a string containing the presentation format of the address.
58\fBlwres_net_ntop()\fR
59returns
60\fBNULL\fR
61and sets the global variable
62\fBerrno\fR
63to
64\fBEAFNOSUPPORT\fR
65if the protocol family given in
66\fIaf\fR
67is not supported.
