the #include <net/addrconf.h> indirectly
includes <linux/in.h> and <linux/in6.h>
but because this now uses struct sockaddr and family
it may be more sensible to directly include those.

No worries really, it works now.

It's a little different than that.

That's slightly tricky, ip6_addr_string just needs "I" or "i"

But, your implementation, your choice,
