ax25_aton, ax25_aton_entry, ax25_aton_arglist, ax25_ntoa, ax25_cmp, ax25_validate - AX25 Address manipulation routines

SYNOPSIS

#include <netax25/ax25.h>

int ax25_aton(const char * cp , struct full_sockaddr_ax25 * fsap );

int ax25_aton_arglist(const char ** cp , struct full_sockaddr_ax25 * fsap );

int ax25_aton_entry(const char * cp , char * axp );

char *ax25_ntoa(ax25_address * axp );

int ax25_cmp(ax25_address * ax1 , ax25_address * ax2 );

int ax25_validate(char * axp );

char *ax25_config_file(const char *filename);

DESCRIPTION

ax25_aton () takes the ASCII string cp that is in the format callsign [[ V | VIA ] callsign ...] and stores it in fsap in network format.

ax25_aton_entry () takes the ASCII string of a callsign cp and stores it in network format in axp.

The ax25_aton_arglist () takes a NULL terminated array of strings cp and stores it in fsap in network format.

The ax25_ntoa () takes a network format address axp and returns the ASCII representation. The string is returned in a statically allocated buffer, which subsequent calls will overwrite.

The ax25_cmp () function compares the two ax25 addresses, ax1 and ax2 , that are in network format and determines whether they are identical, differ only by their SSIDs or are different.

The ax25_validate () function checks to see if the address axp in network format is a correctly formatted address.

RETURN VALUE

The ax25_aton () and ax25_aton_arglist () functions return -1 if an error occurs otherwise the length of the returned structure.

The ax25_aton_entry () function returns -1 if an error occurs otherwise zero.

The ax25_cmp () function returns 0 if the two addresses are identical, 1 if they are different or 2 is only the SSIDs are different.

The ax25_validate () function returns TRUE if the callsign is valid or FALSE if it is not.
