Hi, i am student of system engineering and I have been studying socket system for a subject at university. I have found much difficult understanding the functions: htonl(u_long hostlong); htons(u_short hostshort); ntohl(u_long netlong); ntohs(u_short netshort); I dont understand: What are they for?, What structure do they recive and what they return? how an ip address is stored in a struct ? each part is threat as int or the whole is an char? as you can see, i am very confused i appreciate your help, i have found lots of online documentation but I wish to know what's happening inside, how to deal the structures: sockaddr_in, hostent, etc thanks, thanks alot!. The result of this research is a publication in a local magazine, freebsd is alive in south america!!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
