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).

world. This is not expected to be fixed in the near future.
