From: Benjamin Kramer Date: Thu, 07 May 2009 12:22:32 GMT Subject: [PATCH/RFC] daemon.c: replace inet_ntop with getnameinfo Message-ID: <4A02D288.6040804@googlemail.com> git daemon's interpolated paths didn't support IPv6. Every IPv6 address was being converted to `0.0.0.0'. Fix this by replacing inet_ntop(3) with the protocol agnostic getnameinfo(3) API. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Kramer --- With this patch we'll have colons in the per-IP directories for IPv6 addresses. Creating files with a : in the name fails on some OSes (e.g. Windows). Is this OK for git or do we need to special case IPv6 addresses? daemon.c | 8 +++----- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon.c b/daemon.c index daa4c8e..339d7ab 100644 --- a/daemon.c +++ b/daemon.c @@ -446,17 +446,15 @@ static void parse_extra_args(char *extra_args, int buflen) struct addrinfo hints; struct addrinfo *ai; int gai; - static char addrbuf[HOST_NAME_MAX + 1]; + static char addrbuf[NI_MAXHOST]; memset(&hints, 0, sizeof(hints)); hints.ai_flags = AI_CANONNAME; gai = getaddrinfo(hostname, 0, &hints, &ai); if (!gai) { - struct sockaddr_in *sin_addr = (void *)ai->ai_addr; - - inet_ntop(AF_INET, &sin_addr->sin_addr, - addrbuf, sizeof(addrbuf)); + getnameinfo(ai->ai_addr, ai->ai_addrlen, addrbuf, + sizeof(addrbuf), NULL, 0, NI_NUMERICHOST); free(ip_address); ip_address = xstrdup(addrbuf); -- 1.6.3.1.g882bf
