endian so either the “be” or “le” variants are implemented as null
macros.
The routines mentioned above which have either {src-order} or {dst-order}
set to ‘n’ are most often used in conjunction with Internet addresses and
ports as returned by gethostbyname(3) and getservent(3).

HISTORY
The byteorder functions appeared in 4.2BSD.
BUGS

from most everyone else in the world. This is not expected to be fixed
in the near future.
