Hy,
I'm looking for the way to convert an ipv6 adress from network to host
order. Seems I can't use ntohl that takes a 32 bit argument... Is there
an equivalent function for ipv6??
That would do some help.(not only ntohl but also all the ipv4 dedicated
functions).
Thanks,

No ... but why would you do that? Are you working on a system with
native 128 bit integers ... ? What math would you do on an IPv6
address?

Such as what? getipnodebyname()?
