Not exactly.  inet_ntoa() and inet_aton() are about the closest I can
think of.  There's a range of similar functions described in the
inet(3) man page for converting from struct in_addr (essentially
an IPv4 address expressed as a 32bit int) to a textual representation
of an IPv4 number, and vice versa.=20
