System name: fries
Type and version: CVAXSTAR 7.1H (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
Use the "inet_ntoa" function as described on the manpage.
What's wrong:
The manpage neglects to mention that you have to include
<sys/types.h>. This is necessary, since <sys/socket.h> uses
caddr_t and u_short, and <netinet/in.h> uses u_short also.
What should have happened:
It should say so. And, it should be included before
<sys/socket.h> and the rest.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man 3n inet
Fix:
Apply the patch below, please.
