+.Sh NAME
+.Nm htonl ,
+.Nm htons ,
+.Nm ntohl ,
+.Nm ntohs
+.Nd convert values between host and network byte order
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
+.Ft u_long
+.Fn htonl "u_long hostlong"
+.Ft u_short
+.Fn htons "u_short hostshort"
+.Ft u_long
+.Fn ntohl "u_long netlong"
+.Ft u_short
+.Fn ntohs "u_short netshort"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These routines convert 16 and 32 bit quantities between network
+byte order 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.
+.Pp
+These routines are most often used in conjunction with Internet
+addresses and ports as returned by
+.Xr gethostbyname 3
+and
+.Xr getservent 3 .
+.Sh SEE ALSO

+.Xr getservent 3
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm byteorder
+functions appeared in 
+.Bx 4.2 .
+.Sh BUGS
+On the
+.Tn VAX
+bytes are handled backwards from most everyone else in
+the world.  This is not expected to be fixed in the near future.
