DESCRIPTION

34       These functions convert 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit  quantities  between
35       network  byte  order  and  host byte order. On some architectures these
36       routines are defined as NULL macros in the include file <netinet/in.h>.
37       On  other architectures, the routines are functional when the host byte
38       order is different from network byte order.
39
40
41       These functions are  most  often  used  in  conjunction  with  Internet
42       addresses  and  ports as returned by gethostent() and getservent(). See
43       gethostbyname(3NSL) and getservbyname(3SOCKET).
