/****************************************************************************
 * Function: netlib_prefix2ipv6netmask
 *
 * Description:
 *   Convert a IPv6 prefix length to a network mask.  The prefix length
 *   specifies the number of MS bits under mask (0-128)
 *
 * Parameters:
 *   preflen  - Determines the width of the netmask (in bits).  Range 0-128
 *   netmask  - The location to return the netmask.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   None
