.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These routines convert 16 and 32 bit quantities between network
|
|
byte order and host byte order.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These routines are most often used in conjunction with Internet
|
|
addresses and ports as returned by
|
|
.Xr gethostbyname 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr getservent 3 .
|
|

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The described functions conform to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001 .

|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The

.Nm byteorder
|
|
functions appeared in

|
.Bx 4.2 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The `l' and `s' suffixes in the names are not meaningful in machines
|
|
where long integers are not 32 bits.
