if using one of unsigned or signed char for the function prototype, one
gets nasty warnings when using it with the other type. the only proper
solution is to put void* into the prototype, and then specialize the pointer
inside the function using an automatic variable.
for exactly this reason, libc functions like read(), write(), etc use void*
too.
The notices have been changed to a more GNU look. Documentation
comments have been separated from the copyright header. I've tried to
keep all copyright notices intact. Some author contact details have
been updated.
I re-indented the source code using indent with the following options:
indent -kr -bad -bap -nut -i8 -l80 -psl -sob -ss -ncs
There are now _no_ tabs in the source files, and all indentation is
eight spaces. Lines are 80 characters long, and the procedure type is
on it's own line. Read the indent manual for more information about
what each option means.
- get_ip_string() converts a binary network address into either a
dotted-decimal IPv4 address, or a IPv6 hex-string
- full_inet_pton() converts a numeric character string into an IPv6
network address (binary form). It's like the system inet_pton()
function, but it will work with bot IPv4 and IPv6 character
strings.
These functions are required for the conversion to Internet protocol
independence. (Or to put it more clearly: allow tinyproxy to work in
an IPv6 network.)
