I am not at all sure whether this is a bug or feature. I was just surprised by the results. If it is a feature, the documentation is misleading.
The issue is that inet_aton(3) will correctly understand, "127.1" To be the IP address, 127.0.0.1 Where inet_pton(3) will fail (return a 1). That is, inet_pton(3) only understands dotted quads. The comments in src/lib/libc/net/inet_pton.c clearly show this is the intended behavior. But is that what we want? -- Crist J.
