There is another copy of it under backend/utils/adt/inet_cidr_ntop.c.
The code looks different but does 90% the same thing. Their naming
and usage is confusing.
I recently needed to format IP addresses as DNS PTR records in the
database, and got annoyed by having no functions that outputs IPv6
addresses in easily parseable format like
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000. I was going to send a patch
to unify those C functions and add another SQL function to get
addresses in such format. Is this a good plan? Where should those C
functions be on the tree if they are not port of anything anymore?
