inet_ntop(buf) converts an IPv4 or IPv6 address buf from binary to text form.
buf is expected to be a 4 (IPv4) or 16 (IPv6) bytes long String or Buffer.
Returns the IP address as a string or throws an Error in case the call to inet_ntop(3) fails.
Throws TypeError when the number of arguments is not 1, when buf is neither String nor Buffer or when the length of buf is neither 4 nor 16.
inet_pton(ip) converts an IPv4 or IPv6 address buf from text to binary form.
ip is expected to be a string. The function returns null if ip is not a valid IP address.
Returns Buffer with the binary form of the given ip; the length of the buffer is either 4 or 16 bytes.
Throws TypeError when the number of arguments is not 1 or when ip is not a string.
