<p>The <em>inet_ntoa()</em> function is used to translate an Internet address
from a 32-bit IP address to dotted decimal 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><strong>internet_address</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The 32-bit IP address that is to be converted to dotted decimal
format.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<p><em>inet_ntoa()</em> returns one of the following values: </p>
<ul>
<li>NULL (unsuccessful)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>s (where s is the pointer to the Internet address in dotted decimal
format)</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h3><a name="USAGE_NOTES">Usage Notes</a></h3>
<ol>
<li>The pointer returned by <em>inet_ntoa()</em> points to static storage that
is overridden on subsequent <em>inet_ntoa()</em> functions.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Do not use the <em>inet_ntoa()</em> function in a multithreaded
environment. See the multithread alternative <em>inet_ntoa_r</em>
function.</li>
