uint16_t ntohs(uint16_t);
The uint32_t and uint16_t types shall be defined as described in <inttypes.h> .
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be pro-
vided.
in_addr_t inet_addr(const char *);
char *inet_ntoa(struct in_addr);
const char *inet_ntop(int, const void *restrict, char *restrict,
socklen_t);
int inet_pton(int, const char *restrict, void *restrict);
