NAME
htonl(), htons(), ntohl(), ntohs() - convert values between host and network byte order
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
These routines convert 16- and 32-bit quantities between network byte order and host byte order. On HP-UX systems, network and host byte
orders are identical, so these routines are defined as null macros in the include file If is defined then these routines are defined in the
include file
These routines are most often used in conjunction with Internet addresses and ports as returned by and (see gethostent(3N) and getser-
vent(3N)). Use these routines to write portable programs.
