Question

Is it possible to still use inet_ntoa() and not worry about Windows User Permissions? Do I need to put a try/catch block around inet_ntoa() to catch any possible problems if User Permissions prevent me from getting the IP address of an interface?

Answer 1

inet_ntoa doesn’t raise exceptions. It returns NULL in case of an error.

It’s hard to see how user permissions could come into this function since it is just an integer to string conversion.
