int rose_cmp(rose_address *a1, rose_address *a2);

DESCRIPTION

The rose_aton() converts the ROSE address cp from an ASCII representation into network format.

The rose_ntoa() converts the ROSE address cp that is network format to a string that is the ASCII representation of the address.

The rose_cmp() compares the two ROSE address a1 and a2 that are in network format.

RETURN VALUE

The rose_ntoa() and rose_aton() functions return zero if all went OK, -1 if not.

The rose_cmp() returns 0 if addresses pointer by a1 and a2 are identical, 1 otherwise.
