TIL that you can resolve a number as an IP address 🤯 But why?

inet_aton accepts several formats, all of which can be decimal, octal, or hex linux.die.net/man/3/inet_a...

linux.die.netinet_aton(3): Internet address change routines - Linux man pageinet_aton() converts the Internet host address cp from the IPv4 numbers-and-dots notation into binary form (in network byte order) and stores it in the structure that inp points to.
