> We already have byte-swapping functions {{{ntoh*/hton*}}} in
{{{net_util.*}}}. Can't we use them here?
I was looking for portable endian / byteswap functions but could not find
any. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. Also was thinking about using the
ntoh* functions, but considering that network order is big endian, there
are no functions for converting network order to little endian if the host
machine is also big endian.. Or maybe i'm overseeing something?
