Subject: [PATCH v3 01/14] inany: Extend inany_ntop() to treat NULL as a fully unspecified address
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 13:29:35 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108022948.2657573-2-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108022948.2657573-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
In a number of places we're using a convention that a NULL inany represents
a dual-stack unspecified address, that is one which includes both 0.0.0.0
and ::. Extend inany_ntop() to handle that convention, representing it
as "*".
