Detailed Description

Byte-order related macros.

This file contains architecture-specific byte-order related macros and/or functions. Each platform should define six macros/functions in this file: arch_swap16, arch_swap32, arch_ntohs, arch_ntohl, arch_htons, and arch_htonl. The first two of these swap the byte order of 16-bit and 32-bit integers, respectively. The other four macros will be used by the kernel to implement the network-related byte order functions.
