              uint16_t htons(uint16_t);
              uint32_t ntohl(uint32_t);
              uint16_t ntohs(uint16_t);

       The uint32_t and uint16_t types shall  be  defined  as  described  in
        .

       The  following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined

              in_addr_t    inet_addr(const char *);
              char        *inet_ntoa(struct in_addr);
              const char  *inet_ntop(int, const void *restrict, char *restrict,
