Likewise, .Fn eui64_ntoa converts an EUI-64 specified as an .Vt eui64 structure into an .Tn ASCII string. .Pp The .Fn eui64_ntohost and .Fn eui64_hostton functions map EUI-64s to their corresponding hostnames as specified in the .Pa /etc/eui64 database. The .Fn eui64_ntohost function converts from EUI-64 to hostname, and .Fn eui64_hostton converts from hostname to EUI-64. .Sh RETURN VALUES .\" The .\" .Fn eui64_line .\" function .\" returns zero on success and non-zero if it was unable to parse .\" any part of the supplied line .\" .Fa l . .\" It returns the extracted EUI-64 in the supplied .\" .Vt eui64 .\" structure .\" .Fa e .\" and the hostname in the supplied string .\" .Fa h . .\" .Pp On success, .Fn eui64_ntoa returns a pointer to a string containing an .Tn ASCII representation of an EUI-64. If it is unable to convert the supplied .Vt eui64 structure, it returns a .Dv NULL pointer. Likewise, .Fn eui64_aton returns a pointer to an .Vt eui64 structure on success and a .Dv NULL pointer on failure. .Pp The .Fn eui64_ntohost and .Fn eui64_hostton functions both return zero on success or non-zero if they were unable to find a match in the .Pa /etc/eui64 database. .Sh NOTES The user must insure that the hostname strings passed to the .\" .Fn eui64_line , .Fn eui64_ntohost and .Fn eui64_hostton functions are large enough to contain the returned hostnames. .Sh NIS INTERACTION If the .Pa /etc/eui64 contains a line with a single .Ql + in it, the .Fn eui64_ntohost and .Fn eui64_hostton functions will attempt to consult the NIS .Pa eui64.byname and .Pa eui64.byid maps in addition to the data in the .Pa /etc/eui64 file. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr firewire 4 , .Xr eui64 5 , .Xr yp 8 .Sh HISTORY These functions first appears in .Fx 5.3 . They are derived from the .Xr ethers 3 family of functions. .Sh BUGS The .Fn eui64_aton and .Fn eui64_ntoa functions returns values that are stored in static memory areas which may be overwritten the next time they are called.
