# dnet\_ntoa(3)

DECnet address to ascii translation

## NAME

dnet\_ntoa - DECnet address to ascii translation

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<netdnet/dn.h\>**\
 **#include \<netdnet/dnetdb.h\>**\

**char \*dnet\_ntoa (struct dn\_naddr \*addr)**

## DESCRIPTION

**dnet\_ntoa** Converts the binary DECnet address  **addr** into  **area.node** ascii notation (1.1, 63.4, etc).

## EXAMPLE

```
#include <netdnet/dn.h>
#include <netdnet/dnetdb.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
main(void)
{
    struct dn_naddr		binaddr;
    binaddr.a_len 	= 2;
    binaddr.a_addr[0] 	= 0x02;
    binaddr.a_addr[1] 	= 0x04;
    printf ("DECnet area.node is %s",dnet_ntoa(binaddr));
}
```
