NAME
       fmt_ip6c - write a formatted ASCII representation of an IPv6 number

SYNTAX
       #include <ip6.h>

       unsigned int fmt_ip6c(char *dest,const char ip[16]);

DESCRIPTION
       fmt_ip6c	 formats  an  IPv6  number in ASCII representation from ip and
       writes the result into dest. It returns the number of bytes written.

       fmt_ip6c will apply "::" compression to the output.

       If ip is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, fmt_ip6c will output it  as  IPv4
       address.

       If  dest	 equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is zero), fmt_ip6c returns the number of
       bytes it would have written.

       fmt_ip6c does not append \0.

       For convenience, ip6.h defines the integer IP6_FMT to be big enough  to
       contain every possible fmt_ip6c output plus \0.

EXAMPLE
       #include <ip6.h>

	 char buf[IP6_FMT];
	 char ip[16];
	 buf[fmt_ip6c(buf,ip)]=0;
