NAME

ntohl − Convert an unsigned 32-bit integer from Internet network byte order to host byte order

SYNOPSIS

#include <arpa/inet.h>
in_addr_t ntohl(
        in_addr_t netint );

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc)

PARAMETERS

netint
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.
