-.TH IPSEC_ATOASR 3 "11 June 2001"
-.SH NAME
-ipsec atoasr \- convert ASCII to Internet address, subnet, or range
-.br
-ipsec rangetoa \- convert Internet address range to ASCII
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B "#include <freeswan.h>
-.sp
-.B "const char *atoasr(const char *src, size_t srclen,"
-.ti +1c
-.B "char *type, struct in_addr *addrs);"
-.br
-.B "size_t rangetoa(struct in_addr *addrs, int format,
-.ti +1c
-.B "char *dst, size_t dstlen);"
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-These functions are obsolete;
-there is no current equivalent,
-because so far they have not proved useful.
-.PP
-.I Atoasr
-converts an ASCII address, subnet, or address range
-into a suitable combination of binary addresses
-(in network byte order).
-.I Rangetoa
-converts an address range back into ASCII,
-using dotted-decimal form for the addresses
-(the other reverse conversions are handled by
-.IR ipsec_addrtoa (3)
-and
-.IR ipsec_subnettoa (3)).
-.PP
-A single address can be any form acceptable to
-.IR ipsec_atoaddr (3):
-dotted decimal, DNS name, or hexadecimal number.
-A subnet
-specification uses the form \fInetwork\fB/\fImask\fR
-interpreted by
-.IR ipsec_atosubnet (3).
-.PP
-An address range is two
-.IR ipsec_atoaddr (3)
-addresses separated by a
-.B ...
-delimiter.
-If there are four dots rather than three, the first is taken as
-part of the begin address,
-e.g. for a complete DNS name which ends with
-.B .
-to suppress completion attempts.
-The begin address of a range must be
-less than or equal to the end address.
-.PP
-The
-.I srclen
-parameter of
-.I atoasr
-specifies the length of the ASCII string pointed to by
-.IR src ;
-it is an error for there to be anything else
-(e.g., a terminating NUL) within that length.
-As a convenience for cases where an entire NUL-terminated string is
-to be converted,
-a
-.I srclen
-value of
-.B 0
-is taken to mean
-.BR strlen(src) .
-.PP
-The
-.I type
-parameter of
-.I atoasr
-must point to a
-.B char
-variable used to record which form was found.
-The
-.I addrs
-parameter must point to a two-element array of
-.B "struct in_addr"
-which receives the results.
-The values stored into
-.BR *type ,
-and the corresponding values in the array, are:
-.PP
-.ta 3c +2c +3c
- *type addrs[0] addrs[1]
-.sp 0.8
-address \&\fB'a'\fR address -
-.br
-subnet \&\fB's'\fR network mask
-.br
-range \&\fB'r'\fR begin end
-.PP
-The
-.I dstlen
-parameter of
-.I rangetoa
-specifies the size of the
-.I dst
-parameter;
-under no circumstances are more than
-.I dstlen
-bytes written to
-.IR dst .
-A result which will not fit is truncated.
-.I Dstlen
-can be zero, in which case
-.I dst
-need not be valid and no result is written,
-but the return value is unaffected;
-in all other cases, the (possibly truncated) result is NUL-terminated.
-The
-.I freeswan.h
-header file defines a constant,
-.BR RANGETOA_BUF ,
-which is the size of a buffer just large enough for worst-case results.
-.PP
-The
-.I format
-parameter of
-.I rangetoa
-specifies what format is to be used for the conversion.
-The value
-.B 0
-(not the ASCII character
-.BR '0' ,
-but a zero value)
-specifies a reasonable default,
-and is in fact the only format currently available.
-This parameter is a hedge against future needs.
-.PP
-.I Atoasr
-returns NULL for success and
-a pointer to a string-literal error message for failure;
-see DIAGNOSTICS.
-.I Rangetoa
-returns
-.B 0
-for a failure, and otherwise
-always returns the size of buffer which would
-be needed to
-accommodate the full conversion result, including terminating NUL;
-it is the caller's responsibility to check this against the size of
-the provided buffer to determine whether truncation has occurred.
-.SH SEE ALSO
-ipsec_atoaddr(3), ipsec_atosubnet(3)
-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-Fatal errors in
-.I atoasr
-are:
-empty input;
-error in
-.IR ipsec_atoaddr (3)
-or
-.IR ipsec_atosubnet (3)
-during conversion;
-begin address of range exceeds end address.
-.PP
-Fatal errors in
-.I rangetoa
-are:
-unknown format.
-.SH HISTORY
-Written for the FreeS/WAN project by Henry Spencer.
-.SH BUGS
-The restriction of error reports to literal strings
-(so that callers don't need to worry about freeing them or copying them)
-does limit the precision of error reporting.
-.PP
-The error-reporting convention lends itself
-to slightly obscure code,
-because many readers will not think of NULL as signifying success.
-A good way to make it clearer is to write something like:
-.PP
-.RS
-.nf
-.B "const char *error;"
-.sp
-.B "error = atoasr( /* ... */ );"
-.B "if (error != NULL) {"
-.B " /* something went wrong */"
-.fi
