Prototype

          NET_UTIL_HOST_TO_NET_16(val);

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.
