I have also filed a corresponding bug a couple of days ago: Bug 249327

After looking at your abandoned review (D26420) where you add parsing of IPv6 addresses. I wondered if we could use the generic inet_aton(3) functions available from kernel space?

P/S. Please add full context to your patches.

I agree, this would probably have been the better than rolling the parser by hand. However, I think the man page leaves some room for improvement regarding it's IPv6 support.

I'm fine with this fix for a special case.
I agree, that a more complete approach would be fine, but this can be done in a later stage.
