@CHIP-RTOS C Library - TCP/IP API

inet_addr_bsd

Converts a dotted decimal IPv4 address string to an unsigned long..

unsigned long far inet_addr_bsd (
                 const char * IPAddressStringPtr ) ;

Parameters

IPAddressStringPtr

IPv4 dotted string IPv4 address

Return Value

The IPv4 address in network byte order.
An invalid dotted decimal string will yield -1, same as would the string:
     "255.255.255.255"

Comments

This function applies only to IPv4 addresses.   The inet_pton API can be used for either IPv4 or IPv6 address conversions.

If the compilation switch

     #define BSD44_SOCKET_API_STYLE

is set as a global define in the user application prior to including the Beck C-library header files, the inet_addr() call can be used in BSD 4.4 compatible style with the parameters specified above.   Using this switch the CLIB TCPIP_Socket.H redefines inet_addr() to inet_addr_bsd() .

RTOS API

On the first call, this library function invokes a software interrupt which modifies the code at the calling site inside your application program.   A direct FAR JMP into the @CHIP-RTOS-x86 implementation for this function is installed so that on return and on any subsequent calls to this API this dynamic link reaches the function's implementation directly.
