+# $EPIC: iptolong.txt,v 1.2 2006/08/01 03:40:36 sthalik Exp $
+======Synopsis:======
+$iptolong(<dotted-quad>)
+======Technical:======
+   * If the <dotted-quad> value is omitted the empty string is returned.
+   * The <dotted-quad> value is taken to be a dotted-quad ipv4 internet address of the form "A.B.C.D" where A,B,C,D are integers less than 256.
+   * The return value is the NETWORK ORDER integer equivalent of <dotted-quad>.
+======Practical:======
+This function does the reverse of $[[longtoip]]().  The DCC handshake uses
+'long's to swap ip addresses.  You could use $[[convert]]() to convert your
+hostname to a dotted-quad and then use this function to convert it to
+a "long" value which would be suitable for use in a DCC handshake.  Why
+you would do such a thing is not certain but this function is included
+for completeness sake.
+======Returns:======
+The "long" integer IPv4 address equivalent of <dotted-quad>
+======Examples:======
+$iptolong(127.8.4.3)			returns "2131231747"
