<p>The <em>htonl()</em> function is used to convert a long (4-byte) integer
from the local host byte order to standard network byte order.</p>
<p>There are two versions of the API, as shown above. The base i5/OS API uses
BSD 4.3 structures and syntax. The other uses syntax and structures compatible
with the UNIX 98 programming interface specifications. You can select the UNIX
98 compatible interface with the <a href="_xopen_source.htm">_XOPEN_SOURCE</a> macro.
</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>host_long</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The 4-byte integer in local host byte order that is to be converted
to standard network byte order.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Authorities</h3>
<p>No authorization is required.</p>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<p><em>htonl()</em> returns an integer. Possible values are:</p>
<ul>
<li>n (where n is the 4-byte integer in standard network byte order)</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
<ol>
<li>On the iSeries server, the value returned to the caller is the same as the
value that was passed to <em>htonl()</em>, since the local host byte order does
not differ from the standard network byte order.</li>
</ol>
