NTOP

The NTOP call converts an IP address from its numeric binary form into a standard text presentation form. On successful completion, NTOP returns the converted IP address in the buffer provided.

The following requirements apply to this call:

Authorization:

Supervisor state or problem state, any PSW key.

Dispatchable unit mode:

Task.

Cross memory mode:

PASN = HASN.

Amode:

31-bit or 24-bit.

Note: See "Addressability mode (Amode) considerations" under CALL instruction API environmental restrictions and programming requirements.

ASC mode:

Primary address space control (ASC) mode.

Interrupt status:

Enabled for interrupts.

Locks:

Unlocked.

Control parameters:

All parameters must be addressable by the caller and in the primary address space.
