- get_ip_string() converts a binary network address into either a
dotted-decimal IPv4 address, or a IPv6 hex-string
- full_inet_pton() converts a numeric character string into an IPv6
network address (binary form). It's like the system inet_pton()
function, but it will work with bot IPv4 and IPv6 character
strings.
These functions are required for the conversion to Internet protocol
independence. (Or to put it more clearly: allow tinyproxy to work in
an IPv6 network.)
