Sockets Library Functions                      byteorder(3SOCKET)



NAME
     byteorder, htonl, htonll, htons, ntohl, ntohll, ntohs - con-
     vert values between host and network byte order

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lsocket  -lnsl  [ library... ]
     #include 
     #include 
     #include 

     uint32_t htonl(uint32_t hostlong);


     uint64_t htonll(uint64_t hostlonglong);


     uint16_t htons(uint16_t hostshort);


     uint32_t ntohl(uint32_t netlong);


     uint64_t ntonll(uint64_t hostlonglong);


     uint16_t ntohs(uint16_t netshort);


DESCRIPTION
     These functions convert 16-bit, 32-bit, and  64-bit  quanti-
     ties between network byte order and host byte order. On some
     architectures these routines are defined as NULL  macros  in
     the include file . On other architectures, the
     routines are functional when the host  byte  order  is  dif-
     ferent from network byte order.


     These functions are most  often  used  in  conjunction  with
     Internet addresses and ports as returned by gethostent() and
     getservent().       See       gethostbyname(3NSL)        and
     getservbyname(3SOCKET).
