RTFM

       The  inet_addr()  function  converts  the Internet host address cp f=
rom
       numbers-and-dots notation into binary data in network byte  order.  =
 If
       the input is invalid, INADDR_NONE (usually -1) is returned.  This is=
 an
       obsolete interface to inet_aton(), described immediately above;  it =
 is
       obsolete   because   -1  is  a  valid  address  (255.255.255.255),  =
and
       inet_aton() provides a cleaner way to indicate error return.
