Re: Converting IPv6 from string to internal representation

Hi, 

That's what inet_pton() can do for you. Either from the
platform or provided through wsutils/inet_pton.c 

Thanks,

Hello, 

As
part of my code I have an option that allows a user to set an
IPv6-compatible address in the preferences dialog. I then compare this
address to information in the packet. Obviously, the user would enter
the address in the human-readable form (e.g.:
2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334) and I would then have to parse
it into its computer representation. 

Is there a function in Wireshark
that would allow me to do this without implementing the functionality
from scratch? 

Thanks, 
Slava.
