83.Sh DESCRIPTION
84These functions operate on IEEE EUI-64s using an
85.Vt eui64
86structure, which is defined in the header file
87.In sys/eui64.h :
88.Bd -literal -offset indent

100.Ed
101.\" .Pp
102.\" The function
103.\" .Fn eui64_line
104.\" scans
105.\" .Fa l ,
106.\" an
107.\" .Tn ASCII
108.\" string in
109.\" .Xr eui64 5
110.\" format and sets
111.\" .Fa e
112.\" to the EUI-64 specified in the string and
113.\" .Fa h
114.\" to the hostname.
115.\" This function is used to parse lines from
116.\" .Pa /etc/eui64
117.\" into their component parts.
118.Pp
119The
120.Fn eui64_aton
121function converts an
122.Tn ASCII
123representation of an EUI-64 into an
124.Vt eui64
125structure.
126Likewise,
127.Fn eui64_ntoa
128converts an EUI-64 specified as an
129.Vt eui64
130structure into an
131.Tn ASCII
132string.
133.Pp
134The
135.Fn eui64_ntohost
136and
137.Fn eui64_hostton
138functions map EUI-64s to their corresponding hostnames
139as specified in the
140.Pa /etc/eui64
141database.
142The
143.Fn eui64_ntohost
144function
145converts from EUI-64 to hostname, and
146.Fn eui64_hostton
147converts from hostname to EUI-64.
148.Sh RETURN VALUES
149.\" The
150.\" .Fn eui64_line
151.\" function
152.\" returns zero on success and non-zero if it was unable to parse
153.\" any part of the supplied line
154.\" .Fa l .
155.\" It returns the extracted EUI-64 in the supplied
156.\" .Vt eui64
157.\" structure
158.\" .Fa e
159.\" and the hostname in the supplied string
160.\" .Fa h .
161.\" .Pp
162On success,
163.Fn eui64_ntoa
164returns a pointer to a string containing an
165.Tn ASCII
166representation of an EUI-64.
167If it is unable to convert
168the supplied
169.Vt eui64
170structure, it returns a
171.Dv NULL
172pointer.
173Likewise,
174.Fn eui64_aton
175returns a pointer to an
176.Vt eui64
177structure on success and a
178.Dv NULL
179pointer on failure.
180.Pp
181The
182.Fn eui64_ntohost
183and
184.Fn eui64_hostton
185functions both return zero on success or non-zero if they were
186unable to find a match in the
187.Pa /etc/eui64
188database.
189.Sh NOTES
190The user must ensure that the hostname strings passed to the
191.\" .Fn eui64_line ,
192.Fn eui64_ntohost
193and
194.Fn eui64_hostton
195functions are large enough to contain the returned hostnames.
196.Sh NIS INTERACTION
197If the
198.Pa /etc/eui64
199contains a line with a single
200.Ql +
201in it, the
202.Fn eui64_ntohost
203and
204.Fn eui64_hostton
205functions will attempt to consult the NIS
206.Pa eui64.byname
207and
208.Pa eui64.byid
209maps in addition to the data in the
210.Pa /etc/eui64
211file.

217These functions first appears in

219They are derived from the

221family of functions.
