Thanks. I was doing this in an unorganized fashion when I mentioned the
EXIT_FAILURE changed.

Is it okay if I add inet_ntoa? It is "obsolete" in this latest revision
but it is used everywhere including GNU Inetutils [1] [2]. FWIW I don't
think its usage is bad as long as you don't have plans to make your
program multithreaded.

I'm thinking that Windows will need a replacement just to get rid of the
stdcall convention and other systems can use inet_ntop with a static
buffer.
