NAME
       ntohl - Converts an unsigned 32-bit integer from Internet network byte order to host byte order

LIBRARY
       Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <arpa/inet.h>

       in_addr_t ntohl (      in_addr_t netint) ;

PARAMETERS
       Specifies a 32-bit integer in network-byte order.

DESCRIPTION
       The ntohl() (network-to-host long) function converts an unsigned 32-bit integer from Internet network-byte order to host-byte order.

       The  Internet network requires address and port reference data in network-byte order.  You can use the ntohl() function to convert Internet
       network address and port data to host byte-ordered integers.

RETURN VALUES
       The ntohl() function returns a 32-bit integer in host-byte order.

ERRORS
       Current industry standards do not define error values for the ntohl() function.
