This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface

Application Usage

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

Description

       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 uint32_t and uint16_t types are defined in <inttypes.h>.

Errors

       No errors are defined.

       Thefollowingsectionsareinformative.

Examples

       None.

Future Directions

       None.

Name

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

Prolog

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

Rationale

       None.

Return Value

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

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