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

92 * The number of bytes in an EUI-64.

94#define EUI64_LEN		8

99struct  eui64 {

101};
102.Ed
103.\" .Pp
104.\" The function
105.\" .Fn eui64_line
106.\" scans
107.\" .Fa l ,
108.\" an
109.\" .Tn ASCII
110.\" string in
111.\" .Xr eui64 5
112.\" format and sets
113.\" .Fa e
114.\" to the EUI-64 specified in the string and
115.\" .Fa h
116.\" to the hostname.
117.\" This function is used to parse lines from
118.\" .Pa /etc/eui64
119.\" into their component parts.
120.Pp
121The
122.Fn eui64_aton
123function converts an
124.Tn ASCII
125representation of an EUI-64 into an
126.Vt eui64
127structure.
128Likewise,
129.Fn eui64_ntoa
130converts an EUI-64 specified as an
131.Vt eui64
132structure into an
133.Tn ASCII
134string.
135.Pp
136The
137.Fn eui64_ntohost
138and
139.Fn eui64_hostton
140functions map EUI-64s to their corresponding hostnames
141as specified in the
142.Pa /etc/eui64
143database.
144The
145.Fn eui64_ntohost
146function
147converts from EUI-64 to hostname, and
148.Fn eui64_hostton
149converts from hostname to EUI-64.
150.Sh RETURN VALUES
151.\" The
152.\" .Fn eui64_line
153.\" function
154.\" returns zero on success and non-zero if it was unable to parse
155.\" any part of the supplied line
156.\" .Fa l .
157.\" It returns the extracted EUI-64 in the supplied
158.\" .Vt eui64
159.\" structure
160.\" .Fa e
161.\" and the hostname in the supplied string
162.\" .Fa h .
163.\" .Pp
164On success,
165.Fn eui64_ntoa
166returns a pointer to a string containing an
167.Tn ASCII
168representation of an EUI-64.
169If it is unable to convert
170the supplied
171.Vt eui64
172structure, it returns a
173.Dv NULL
174pointer.
175Likewise,
176.Fn eui64_aton
177returns a pointer to an
178.Vt eui64
179structure on success and a
180.Dv NULL
181pointer on failure.
182.Pp
183The
184.Fn eui64_ntohost
185and
186.Fn eui64_hostton
187functions both return zero on success or non-zero if they were
188unable to find a match in the
189.Pa /etc/eui64
190database.
191.Sh NOTES
192The user must ensure that the hostname strings passed to the
193.\" .Fn eui64_line ,
194.Fn eui64_ntohost
195and
196.Fn eui64_hostton
197functions are large enough to contain the returned hostnames.
198.Sh NIS INTERACTION
199If the
200.Pa /etc/eui64
201contains a line with a single
202.Ql +
203in it, the
204.Fn eui64_ntohost
205and
206.Fn eui64_hostton
207functions will attempt to consult the NIS
208.Pa eui64.byname
209and
210.Pa eui64.byid
211maps in addition to the data in the
212.Pa /etc/eui64
213file.

218.Sh HISTORY
219These functions first appears in
220.Fx 5.3 .
221They are derived from the
222.Xr ethers 3
223family of functions.
