All, Is there a reason not to add ntohq and htonq to the short and long versions we (and everyone else) already has? Juniper has 64-bit entities that go over the wire in network byte order and, while these macros are absolutely arcane, I see no reason not to complete them with 64-bit variants. I did some googling and htonq and ntohq seem to be de facto names used, but oddly enough no OS has them defined. It's surreal. Are there better alternatives we should migrate to? -- Marcel Moolenaar marcel@xcllnt.net
