NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       inet6_rth_reverse  -  Reverse the order of addresses in an
       IPv6 Routing header

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <netinet/ip6.h>

       int inet6_rth_reverse(
               const void *in,
               void *out );

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       Standard C Library (libc)

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Points to a buffer that contains an IPv6  Routing  header.
       Points  to  a buffer that is to contain the Routing header
       with the reversed addresses. This parameter can  point  to
       the same buffer specified by in.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  inet6_rth_reverse()  function  reads  an IPv6 Routing
       header and writes a  new  Routing  header,  reversing  the
       order  of  addresses  in  the  new  header. The in and out
       parameters can point to the same buffer.

       The  function  sets  the  ip60r_segleft  member   in   the
       ip6_rthdr0 structure to the number of segments (addresses)
       in the new header. The ip6_rthdr0 structure is defined  in
       netinet/ip6.h.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       Upon  successful completion, the inet6_rth_reverse() function
 returns 0 (zero). Upon failure, it returns a -1.
