181 * \param caller: a pointer to a user-allocated string which contains a message that has
182 * to be printed *before* the true error message. It could be, for example, 'this error
183 * comes from the recv() call at line 31'. It may be NULL.

186 * error message. This buffer has to be at least 'errbuflen' in length.
187 * It can be NULL; in this case the error cannot be printed.
189 * \param errbuflen: length of the buffer that will contains the error. The error message cannot be
190 * larger than 'errbuflen - 1' because the last char is reserved for the string terminator.

1332 * form. So, for instance, it is able to translate an hex address (stored in binary form) into
1333 * a standard IPv6 address like "::1".
1335 * The behavior of this function depends on the parameters we have in the 'Flags' variable, which

1338 * \param sockaddr: a 'sockaddr_in' or 'sockaddr_in6' structure containing the address that
1339 * need to be translated from network form into the presentation form. This structure must be

1342 * calling this function.
