Network to Host Byte Order Conversion#

Functions that provide conversions from network to host byte order. Network byte order is big endian, so these APIs are only necessary on platforms which have a natural little endian byte order. On big-endian platforms, the APIs are macro'd away to nothing. See endian.h for source code.

Functions#

uint16_t
NTOHS(uint16_t val)

Converts a short (16-bit) value from network to host byte order.

uint32_t
NTOHL(uint32_t val)

Converts a long (32-bit) value from network to host byte order.

uint32_t
SwapEndiannessInt32u(uint32_t val)

Macros#

HTONL NTOHL

HTONS NTOHS
