Synopsis: Bug in inet(3) man page (inet_aton())
State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: bjk
State-Changed-When: Sat May 17 04:06:45 UTC 2014
State-Changed-Why:
I do not believe this is a bug.
The text is just referring to an IP address when it says
"network address", and the class-A addressing scheme is just
taking the three octets from the second component and putting
them as the last three octets of the IPv4 address.
In the nearby portions of this document, "network address"
is also referring to just an IPv4 address.
