The Windows Sockets ntohs function converts a u_short from TCP/IP network byte order to host byte order (which is big-endian).

u_short ntohs (
  u_short netshort  
);
 

Parameters

Remarks

The ntohs function takes a 16-bit number in TCP/IP network byte order and returns a 16-bit number in host byte order.
