Converting IPv6 from string to internal representation

[Slava Koyfman <slavak () mellanox co il>]

Hello,

As part of my code I have an option that allows a user to set an IPv6-compatible address in the preferences dialog. I 
then compare this address to information in the packet. Obviously, the user would enter the address in the 
human-readable form (e.g.: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334) and I would then have to parse it into its computer 
representation.

Is there a function in Wireshark that would allow me to do this without implementing the functionality from scratch?

Thanks,
Slava.
