htonl Function

The htonl function converts a u_long from host to TCP/IP network byte order (which is big-endian).

Syntax

u_long WSAAPI htonl(
  __in  u_long hostlong
);

Parameter

  • hostlong [in]
    A 32-bit number in host byte order.

Rückgabewert

The htonl function returns the value in TCP/IP's network byte order.

Hinweise

The htonl function takes a 32-bit number in host byte order and returns a 32-bit number in the network byte order used in TCP/IP networks (the AF_INET or AF_INET6 address family).

The htonl function can be used to convert an IPv4 address in host byte order to the IPv4 address in network byte order. This function does not do any checking to determine if the hostlong parameter is a valid IPv4 address.

The htonl function does not require that the Winsock DLL has previously been loaded with a successful call to the WSAStartup function.
