       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

       htonl, htons, ntohl, ntohs -- convert values between host and network
       byte order

       These functions shall convert 16-bit and 32-bit quantities between
       network byte order and host byte order.

       On some implementations, these functions are defined as macros.

       The uuiinntt3322__tt and uuiinntt1166__tt types are defined in _<_i_n_t_t_y_p_e_s_._h_>.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       The _h_t_o_n_l() and _h_t_o_n_s() functions shall return the argument value
       converted from host to network byte order.

       The _n_t_o_h_l() and _n_t_o_h_s() functions shall return the argument value
       converted from network to host byte order.

EERRRROORRSS
       No errors are defined.

       These functions are most often used in conjunction with IPv4 addresses
       and ports as returned by _g_e_t_h_o_s_t_e_n_t() and _g_e_t_s_e_r_v_e_n_t().
