API Documentation
-----------------
Given the dotted-quad representation of an IPv4 network address as a string, returns an integer that represents the numeric value of the address in network byte order (big endian). aton() returns null` if it does not understand its argument. For IP Address of 'a.b.c.d', the numerical representation would be: a 256^3 + b 256^2 + c * 256 + d.
Given a numeric IPv4 network address in network byte order, returns the dotted-quad representation of the address as a binary string. ntoa() returns null if it does not understand its argument.
