     IP(2)                                                       IP(2)

     NAME
          eipconv, parseip, parseether, myipaddr, myetheraddr, maskip,
          equivip - Internet protocol

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <u.h>
          #include <libc.h>
          #include <ip.h>

          int  eipconv(void *o, int f1, int f2, int f3, int chr)

          int  parseip(uchar *ipaddr, char *str)

          int  parseether(uchar *eaddr, char *str)

          int  myipaddr(uchar *ipaddr, char *net)

          int  myetheraddr(uchar *eaddr, char *net)

          void maskip(uchar *from, uchar *mask, uchar *to)

          int  equivip(uchar *ipaddr1, uchar *ipaddr2)

     DESCRIPTION
          These routines are used by Internet Protocol (IP) programs
          to manipulate IP and Ethernet addresses.  IP addresses are
          stored as a string of 4 unsigned chars, Ethernet addresses
          as 6 unsigned chars.  The string representation of IP
          addresses is (up to) 4 decimal integers from 0 to 255 sepa-
          rated by periods.  The string representation of Ethernet
          addresses is exactly 12 hexadecimal digits.

          Eipconv is a print(2) formatter for Ethernet (verb E) and
          Internet protocol (verb I) addresses.

          Parseip converts a string pointed to by str to a 4-byte IP
          address starting at ipaddr. Myipaddr reads the IP address
          string from file /net/1/local and parses it into ipaddr.
          Both routines return a negative number on errors.

          Parseether converts a string pointed to by str to a 6 byte
          Ethernet address starting at eaddr. Myetheraddr reads the
          Ethernet address string from file net/1/stats and parses it
          into eaddr. Both routines return a negative number on
          errors.

          Maskip places the bit-wise AND of the IP addresses pointed
          to by its first two arguments into the buffer pointed to by
          the third.

     IP(2)                                                       IP(2)

          Equivip returns non-zero if the IP addresses pointed to by
          its two arguments are equal.
