>Description:

htons,htonl,ntohs and ntohl functions do not follow POSIX 1003.1 specification.

NetBSD declares this functions as:

     #include <sys/types.h>

     in_addr_t
     htonl(in_addr_t host32);

     in_port_t
     htons(in_port_t host16);

     in_addr_t
     ntohl(in_addr_t net32);

     in_port_t
     ntohs(in_port_t net16);

POSIX declares this functions as:

 #include <arpa/inet.h>
 
 uint32_t htonl(uint32_t hostlong);
 uint16_t htons(uint16_t hostshort);
 uint32_t ntohl(uint32_t netlong);
 uint16_t ntohs(uint16_t netshort);

>How-To-Repeat:

Check POSIX specification at
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/htonl.html and NetBSD manual page for htons

>Fix:

Just substitute in_port_t and in_addr_t with uint16_t and uint32_t respectively in proper header files.
