.Dt ISO_ADDR 3

.Os

.Sh NAME

.Nm iso_addr ,

.Nm iso_ntoa

.Nd "network address conversion routines for Open System Interconnection"

.Sh SYNOPSIS

.Fd #include 

.Fd #include 

.Ft struct iso_addr *

.Fn iso_addr "char *cp"

.Ft char *

.Fn iso_ntoa "struct iso_addr *isoa"

.Sh DESCRIPTION

The routine

.Fn iso_addr

interprets character strings representing

.Tn OSI

addresses, returning binary information suitable

for use in system calls.

The routine

.Fn iso_ntoa

takes

.Tn OSI

addresses and returns

.Tn ASCII

strings representing NSAPs (network service

access points) in a

notation inverse to that accepted by

.Fn iso_addr .

.Pp

Unfortunately, no universal standard exists for representing

.Tn OSI

network addresses.

.Pp

The format employed by

.Fn iso_addr

is a sequence of hexadecimal

.Dq digits

(optionally separated by periods),

of the form:

.Bd -filled -offset indent

..

.Ed

.Pp

Each pair of hexadecimal digits represents a byte

with the leading digit indicating the higher-ordered bits.

A period following an even number of bytes has no

effect (but may be used to increase legibility).

A period following an odd number of bytes has the

effect of causing the byte of address being translated

to have its higher order bits filled with zeros.

.Sh RETURN VALUES

.Fn iso_ntoa

always returns a null terminated string.

.Fn iso_addr

always returns a pointer to a

.Li struct iso_addr .

(See

.Sx BUGS . )

.Sh SEE ALSO

.Xr iso 4

.Sh HISTORY

The

.Fn iso_addr

and

.Fn iso_ntoa

functions appeared in

.Bx 4.3 Reno .

.Sh BUGS

The returned values

reside in a static memory area.

.Pp

The function

.Fn iso_addr

should diagnose improperly formed input, and there should be an unambiguous

way to recognize this.
