     hhttoonnll, hhttoonnss, nnttoohhll, nnttoohhss - convert values between host and network byte
     order

     These routines convert 16 and 32 bit quantities between network byte or-
     der and host byte order.  On machines which have a byte order which is
     the same as the network order, routines are defined as null macros.

     These routines are most often used in conjunction with Internet addresses
     and ports as returned by gethostbyname(3) and getservent(3).

     The bbyytteeoorrddeerr functions appeared in 4.2BSD.

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