NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       inet6_rth_getaddr  - Retrieve an address for an index from
       an IPv6 Routing header

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <netinet/ip6.h>

       struct in6_addr *inet6_rth_getaddr(
               const void *bp,
               int index );

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       Standard C Library (libc)

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Points to a buffer that contains an IPv6  Routing  header.
       Specifies  a value that identifies a position in a Routing
       header for a specific address. Valid values range  from  0
       to the return value from inet6_rth_segments() minus 1.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  inet6_rth_getaddr()  function  uses a specified index
       value and retrieves a pointer to an address in  a  Routing
       header  specified  by bp. Call inet6_rth_segments() before
       calling this function in order to determine the number  of
       segments (addresses) in the Routing header.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       Upon  successful completion, the inet6_rth_getaddr() function
 returns a pointer to an  address.  Upon  failure,  it
       returns a NULL pointer.
