Comment # 2
on bug 9581
from Guy Harris
If you're calling system APIs to convert between strings and IPv4/IPv6
addresses, you'd use the system AF_INET/AF_INET6 definitions. That was the
case here, although:

New functions: str_to_ip6(), str_to_ip()
This way we can avoid including lot of system header files in some dissectors
and it might fix bug #9581
which buries the calls to system APIs inside a routine in libwireshark, so you
don't have to worry about including the proper header files to get them defined
(or about ancient systems with no IPv6 support!).
xxx_AF_INET and xxx_AF_INET6 are for *other* purposes, such as protocols
defined to use a particular OS's AF_ values, or LINKTYPE_NULL captures, where
the address/protocol family values used are the ones from the OS on which the
capture was done.
