Convert 16-bit integer values from CPU host-order to network-order.

Prototype
Arguments
val
16-bit integer data value to convert.
Returned Value
16-bit integer value in network-order.
Required Configuration
None.
Notes / Warnings
For microprocessors that require data access to be aligned to appropriate word boundaries, val and any variable to receive the returned 16-bit integer must start on appropriately-aligned CPU addresses. This means that all 16-bit words must start on addresses that are multiples of 2 bytes.
