<p>The <em>ns_ntoa()</em> function is used to translate a network services
address from a 12-byte address to a human readable format.</p>
<br>
<!-- Please NOTE: DO NOT DELETE THIS SECTION if this API has no authorities and locks. -->
<!-- Instead, use the commented out coding below to indicate NONE. -->
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<!-- Use this if there are no authorities and locks. -->
<p>None.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt>struct ns_addr <strong><em>network_services_address</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The 12-byte network services address that is to be converted to
human readable format.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<p>The <em>ns_ntoa()</em> function returns:</p>
<ul>
<li>NULL (unsuccessful call)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>s (where s is the pointer to the network services address in human readable
format)</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h3><a name="USAGE_NOTES">Usage Notes</a></h3>
<ol>
<li>The network services address consists of three fields, the network field,
the host field, and the port number field. <em>ns_ntoa()</em> returns these
fields as a single character string with the fields separated by the period (.)
character. The character string is always terminated with a NULL character.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The fields are always returned in hexadecimal notation. <em>ns_ntoa()</em>
inserts an H character at the end of each field that does not contain an
a,b,c,d,e,f,A,B,C,D,E or F character, in order to make it obvious that the
notation is in hexadecimal.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Not all fields need be returned. For example, if the host field and the
port number field of the network services address both contain hexadecimal
zeros, <em>ns_ntoa()</em> returns a character string that only contains the
network field.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The pointer returned by <em>ns_ntoa()</em> points to static storage that is
overridden on subsequent calls to <em>ns_ntoa()</em>.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Do not use the ns_ntoa() function in a multithread environment. See the
multithread alternative <a href="tsnsntoa.htm">ns_ntoa_r()</a> function.</li>
