09Sep96 Please read the comments at the begiinning of getaddrinfo.c. Supplied with this function are the two files inet_pton.c and inet_ntop.c from the BIND-4.9.4 release. The arguments of these two functions differ from the current (but old) Internet Draft "ipngwg-bsd-api-05.txt", but the next revision of this draft will document these functions as they exist in BIND-4.9.4. Beware that most IPv6 releases are "alpha" at this time. The use of the RES_USE_INET6 option in getaddrinfo() is again from the BIND-4.9.4 release, as this is what will become the standard. But few implementations, if any, support this unless you install BIND-4.9.4 (or later) yourself. Buf fixes, suggestions, etc. are welcome. Rich Stevens (rstevens@kohala.com)
