DESCRIPTION
148 
     These routines convert 16- and 32-bit quantities between different byte
149 
     orderings.  The ``swap'' functions reverse the byte ordering of the given
150 
     quantity, the others converts either from/to the native byte order used
151 
     by the host to/from either little- or big-endian (a.k.a network) order.
152 
 
153 
     Apart from the swap functions, the names can be described by this form:
154 
     {src-order}to{dst-order}{size}.  Both {src-order} and {dst-order} can
155 
     take the following forms:
156 
 
157 
           h    Host order.
158 
           n    Network order (big-endian).
159 
           be   Big-endian (most significant byte first).
160 
           le   Little-endian (least significant byte first).
161 
 
162 
     One of the specified orderings must be `h'.  {size} will take these
163 
     forms:
164 
 
165 
           l  Long (32-bit, used in conjunction with forms involving `n').
166 
           s  Short (16-bit, used in conjunction with forms involving `n').
167 
           16
168 
              16-bit.
169 
           32
170 
              32-bit.
171 
 
172 
     The swap functions are of the form: swap{size}.
173 
 
174 
     Names involving `n' convert quantities between network byte order and
175 
     host byte order.  The last letter (`s' or `l') is a mnemonic for the tra-
176 
     ditional names for such quantities, short and long, respectively.  Today,
177 
     the C concept of short and long integers need not coincide with this tra-
178 
     ditional misunderstanding.  On machines which have a byte order which is
179 
     the same as the network order, routines are defined as null macros.
180 
 
181 
     The functions involving either ``be'', ``le'', or ``swap'' use the num-
182 
     bers 16 and 32 for specifying the bitwidth of the quantities they operate
183 
     on.  Currently all supported architectures are either big- or little-
184 
     endian so either the ``be'' or ``le'' variants are implemented as null
185 
     macros.
186 
 
187 
     The routines mentioned above which have either {src-order} or {dst-order}
188 
     set to `n' are most often used in conjunction with Internet addresses and
189 
     ports as returned by gethostbyname(3) and getservent(3).

HISTORY
195 
     The byteorder functions appeared in 4.2BSD.
196 
 
197 
BUGS
198 
     On the vax, alpha, i386, and so far mips, bytes are handled backwards
199 
     from most everyone else in the world.  This is not expected to be fixed
200 
     in the near future.
