CC3000 Struct sockaddr_in

Hello,

I have one question.
I want use sockaddr_in structure to create UDP client mode.

This structure looks like this:

typedef struct _sockaddr_in_t
{
short sin_family;                                                       // e.g. AF_INET
unsigned short sin_port;                                        // e.g. htons(3490)
in_addr sin_addr;                                                    // see struct in_addr, below
char sin_zero[8];                                                      // zero this if you want to
} sockaddr_in;

if i want define this parametars, i can do that this:

sockaddr_in adress;
adress.sin_family=AF_INET;
adress.sin_port=htons(port);

sin_addr structure looks like this:

typedef struct _in_addr_t
{
unsigned long s_addr;                 // load with inet_aton()
} in_addr;

 If i want set this tipe of code i must use inet_aton() to set Ip address. This function doesn't existc in Host Driver of CC3000.
is it possible to use this structure without hist inet_aton() function? 
If it is possible, can someone type the example.
