nmi_inet_addr

Synchronous function which returns a BSD socket compliant Internet Protocol (IPv4) socket address.

This IPv4 address in the input string parameter could either be specified as a host name, or as a numeric string representation like n.n.n.n known as the IPv4 dotted-decimal format (i.e. "192.168.10.1"). This function is used whenever an ip address needs to be set in the proper format (i.e. for the tstrM2MIPConfig structure).
