- cp
[in] A null-terminated character string representing a number expressed in the Internet standard ".'' notation. |

If no error occurs, inet_addr returns an unsigned long value containing a suitable binary representation of the Internet address given. If the string in the cp parameter does not contain a legitimate Internet address, for example if a portion of an "a.b.c.d" address exceeds 255, inet_addr returns the value INADDR_NONE. |
