The Windows Sockets ntohl function converts a u_long from TCP/IP network order to host byte order (which is big-endian).
u_long ntohl (
u_long netlong
);
The ntohl function takes a 32-bit number in TCP/IP network byte order and returns a 32-bit number in host byte order.
The ntohl function always returns a value in host byte order. If the netlong parameter was already in host byte order, then no operation is performed.
