How to fix error or warning in C: "implicit declaration of function ‘inet_aton’; did you mean ‘inet_pton’?"

I am unable to use inet_aton() to convert an ASCII IP address such as "192.168.0.1" to a struct in_addr address in network byte order because I cannot get my code to compile.

I'm working in this file: socket__geeksforgeeks_udp_server_GS_edit_GREAT.c

Here is my build command:

gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror -O3 -std=c17 \socket__geeksforgeeks_udp_server_GS_edit_GREAT.c -o bin/server \-lm && bin/server

Here is my command and error output:

eRCaGuy_hello_world/c$ gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror -O3 -std=c17 socket__geeksforgeeks_udp_server_GS_edit_GREAT.c -o bin/server -lm && bin/serversocket__geeksforgeeks_udp_server_GS_edit_GREAT.c: In function ‘main’:socket__geeksforgeeks_udp_server_GS_edit_GREAT.c:159:15: error: implicit declaration of function ‘inet_aton’; did you mean ‘inet_pton’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]     retcode = inet_aton("127.0.0.1", &addr_server.sin_addr);               ^~~~~~~~~               inet_ptoncc1: all warnings being treated as errors

The part I want to fix is:

implicit declaration of function ‘inet_aton’; did you mean ‘inet_pton’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

I am including arpa/inet.h, which contains the declaration for inet_aton(), at the top of my source file, so I know that is not the problem:

#include <arpa/inet.h>
