ntohl(9r) ntohl(9r) NAME
ntohl, ntohs - General: Convert longword and word values from network-to-host byte order SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h> unsigned int ntohl( unsigned int longword ); unsigned short ntohs( unsigned short word ); ARGUMENTS
Specifies a 32-bit value to be conditionally byte swapped. Specifies a 16-bit value to be conditionally byte swapped. DESCRIPTION
The ntohl routine converts the specified longword value from network-to-host byte order. The ntohs routine converts the specified word value from network-to-host byte order. The TCP/IP protocols specify the canonical network byte order, which is big endian (meaning that the most significant byte is leftmost in memory). RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the ntohl routine returns the converted longword value in host byte order. Similarly, upon successful comple- tion, the ntohs routine returns the converted word value in host byte order. SEE ALSO

ntohl - Converts an unsigned 32-bit integer from Internet network byte order to host byte order LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <arpa/inet.h> in_addr_t ntohl ( in_addr_t netint) ; STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: ntohl(): XNS4.0 Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. PARAMETERS
Specifies a 32-bit integer in network-byte order. DESCRIPTION
The ntohl() (network-to-host long) function converts an unsigned 32-bit integer from Internet network-byte order to host-byte order. The Internet network requires address and port reference data in network-byte order. You can use the ntohl() function to convert Internet network address and port data to host byte-ordered integers. RETURN VALUES
The ntohl() function returns a 32-bit integer in host-byte order. ERRORS
Current industry standards do not define error values for the ntohl() function. RELATED INFORMATION
