In_adder structure definition

Hi,
I see that the result of CONFD_GET_IPV4(setVal); is in_addr paprameter.
How can I convert it to integer?
It is a struct, could not find its description in the manual.

Regards
Inbal

in_addr is used for socket programming and is defined as part of the GNU C library, in netinet/in.h. For your convenience, it is defined as follows:

       typedef uint32_t in_addr_t;

       struct in_addr {
           in_addr_t s_addr;
       };

Thanks for your reply.
So if I want to convert the ipv4_address to integer:

in_addr ipv4_addr = CONFD_GET_IPV4(val);
integer int_addr = ipv4_addr.s_addr;

Is that correct?

Hi Inbal,
Probably correct.
It depends on what type your “integer” is. s_addr is of type in_addr_t which is uint32_t (32-bit unsigned integer).
