+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+.LP
+These functions convert 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit quantities between network
+byte order and host byte order. On some architectures these routines are
+defined as \fINULL\fR macros in the include file <\fBnetinet/in.h\fR>. On other
+architectures, the routines are functional when the host byte order is
+different from network byte order.
+.sp
+.LP
+These functions are most often used in conjunction with Internet addresses and
+ports as returned by \fBgethostent()\fR and \fBgetservent()\fR. See
+\fBgethostbyname\fR(3NSL) and \fBgetservbyname\fR(3SOCKET).
