This facility is experimental and is still subject to change. For link_addr(), the string addr may contain an optional network inter- face identifier of the form ``name unit-number'', suitable for the first argument to ifconfig(8), followed in all cases by a colon and an inter- face address in the form of groups of hexadecimal digits separated by periods. Each group represents a byte of address; address bytes are filled left to right from low order bytes through high order bytes. Thus le0:8.0.9.13.d.30 represents an Ethernet address to be transmitted on the first Lance Ethernet interface. RETURN VALUES link_ntoa() always returns a null-terminated string. link_addr() has no return value. (See BUGS.) SEE ALSO iso(4), ifconfig(8) HISTORY The link_addr() and link_ntoa() functions appeared in 4.3BSD-Reno. BUGS The returned values for link_ntoa reside in a static memory area. The function link_addr() should diagnose improperly formed input, and there should be an unambiguous way to recognize this. If the sdl_len field of the link socket address sdl is 0, link_ntoa() will not insert a colon before the interface address bytes. If this translated address is given to link_addr() without inserting an initial colon, the latter will not interpret it correctly.
