int \fBscan_ip6_flat\fP(const char *\fIsrc\fR,char \fIip\fR[16]);
.SH DESCRIPTION
scan_ip6_flat parses an IPv6 number in flat ASCII representation
from \fIsrc\fR and writes the result into \fIip\fR. It returns the
number of bytes read from \fIsrc\fR or 0 if the parsing failed.

scan_ip6_flat accepts upper and lower case hex letters.

The flat representation should have been output by fmt_ip6_flat.
.SH EXAMPLE
#include <str.h>
.br
#include <ip6.h>

  char buf[]="00000000000000000000000000000001";
  char ip[16];
  if (scan_ip6_flat(buf,ip) != str_len(buf))
    parse_error();
