Address conversion functions z/OS Communications Server: IPv6 Network and Application Design Guide SC27-3663-00 |

Because IPv6 and IPv4 addresses have a different format and size,
changes are required when formatting these addresses for presentation
purposes. Two utility functions have been introduced for a selected
set of socket APIs to help applications perform this processing.
A formatted IPv6 address uses significantly more space than a formatted
IPv4 address (46 bytes versus 16 bytes) and this might affect the
layout of any messages and displays that include an IP address.
