Subject: getservent returns a s_portno which is a byteswapped short
Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

And yet <netdb.h> proclaims it an int, and the getservent man page
explains that it's in "network byte order."  I assume that means a
big-endian format.  Or has this int been half-word-swapped?
