INET6_NTOA

Convert a binary IPv6 address to string. This function takes a binary IPv6 address (like from INET6_ATON) and returns its human-readable string representation.

Syntax

INET6_NTOA(expr)

Description

Given an IPv6 or IPv4 network address as a numeric binary string, returns the address as a nonbinary string in the connection character set.

The return string is lowercase, and is platform independent, since it does not use functions specific to the operating system. It has a maximum length of 39 characters.

Returns NULL if the argument is not understood.
