+.Sh NAME
+.Nm htonl ,
+.Nm htons ,
+.Nm ntohl ,
+.Nm ntohs
+.Nd convert values between host and network byte order
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In arpa/inet.h
+.Ft uint32_t
+.Fn htonl "uint32_t host32"
+.Ft uint16_t
+.Fn htons "uint16_t host16"
+.Ft uint32_t

+.Ft uint16_t
+.Fn ntohs "uint16_t net16"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These routines convert 16 and 32 bit quantities between network
+byte order and host byte order.
+.Pp
+On machines which have a byte order which is the same as the network
+order, these routines are defined as macros that expand to the value of
+their argument.
+.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 bswap 3 ,
+.Xr gethostbyname 3 ,
+.Xr getservent 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The described functions conform to
+.St -p1003.1-2001 .
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm byteorder
+functions appeared in
+.Bx 4.2 .
+.Sh BUGS
+The `l' and `s' suffixes in the names are not meaningful in machines
+where long integers are not 32 bits.
