WSANtohl

The Windows Sockets WSANtohl function converts a u_long from network byte order to host byte order.

int WSANtohl (
  SOCKET s,                
  u_long netlong,          
  u_long FAR * lphostlong  
);
 

Parameters

s
[in] A descriptor identifying a socket.
netlong
[in] A 32-bit number in network byte order.
lphostlong
[out] A pointer to a 32-bit number in host byte order.

Remarks

The WSANtohl function takes a 32-bit number in the network byte order associated with socket s and returns a 32-bit number pointed to by the lphostlong parameter in host byte order.

Return Values

If no error occurs, WSANtohl returns zero. Otherwise, a value of SOCKET_ERROR is returned, and a specific error code can be retrieved by calling WSAGetLastError.

Error Codes

WSANOTINITIALISED A successful WSAStartup must occur before using this function.
WSAENETDOWN The network subsystem has failed.
WSAENOTSOCK The descriptor is not a socket.
