I wondered, why does inet_ntop() returns addresses in the format x:x:x:x:x:x:x.x.x.x ? This can be very annoying if that's not what you want. Is there another standard function, other than inet_ntop(), to do the same work ?
I am going to guess you're asking why you're getting that format instead of the straight colon separated version. That format is a standard form for ipv4 mapped or compatible addresses. You can detect this ahead of time with the following macros:
IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED(struct in6_addr *) IN6_IS_ADDR_V4COMPAT(struct in6_addr *)
