.Dd May 3, 2011 .Dt BYTEORDER 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm htonl , .Nm htons , .Nm ntohl , .Nm ntohs .Nd convert values between host and network byte order .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n arpa/inet.h .Ft uint32_t .Fn htonl "uint32_t host32" .Ft uint16_t .Fn htons "uint16_t host16" .Ft uint32_t .Fn ntohl "uint32_t net32" .Ft uint16_t .Fn ntohs "uint16_t net16" .Sh DESCRIPTION These routines convert 16 and 32 bit quantities between network byte order and host byte order.
p On machines which have a byte order which is the same as the network order, these routines are defined as macros that expand to the value of their argument.
p These routines are most often used in conjunction with Internet addresses and ports as returned by .Xr gethostbyname 3 and .Xr getservent 3 . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr bswap 3 , .Xr gethostbyname 3 , .Xr getservent 3 .Sh STANDARDS The described functions conform to .St -p1003.1-2001 . .Sh HISTORY The .Nm byteorder functions appeared in x 4.2 . .Sh BUGS The `l' and `s' suffixes in the names are not meaningful in machines where long integers are not 32 bits.
