.Sh DESCRIPTION
55
These routines convert 16 and 32 bit quantities between network
56
byte order and host byte order.
57
On machines which have a byte order which is the same as the network
58
order, routines are defined as null macros.
59
.Pp
60
These routines are most often used in conjunction with Internet
61
addresses and ports as returned by

.Xr gethostbyname 3
63
and
64
.Xr getservent 3 .

.Sh BUGS
74
On the

76
bytes are handled backwards from most everyone else in
77
the world.  This is not expected to be fixed in the near future.
