.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
These routines convert 16 and 32 bit quantities between network
|
||
|
|
byte order and host byte order.
|
||
|
|
On machines which have a byte order which is the same as the network
|
||
|
|
order, routines are defined as null macros.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
These routines are most often used in conjunction with Internet
|
||
|
|
addresses and ports as returned by
|
||
|
|
.Xr gethostbyname 3
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Xr getservent 3 .
