Dear.all,
a very simple (almost silly) question whose answer, I fear, is
"no."...

I have 4 octects (read by a received packet) which rappresent
an IP address and  I want to convert them into a Inet_Addr_Type
(using GNAT.Sockets). Of course I could convert the 4 octects
into a string to be given to function Inet_Addr_Type, but it seems
a bit "convoluted" (it sounds like the joke about the mathematician's
algorithm to make a pot of hot water :-).   My question is: there
is a  function which  allows me to do such a conversion in a
more direct way? I looked at g-sockets, searching for
"Inet_Addr_Type", but I could not  find anything.

Thank you in advance.
