RTFM

       The  inet_addr()  function  converts  the Internet host address cp from
       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       obsolete interface to inet_aton(), described immediately above;  it  is
       obsolete   because   -1  is  a  valid  address  (255.255.255.255),  and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.
