PARAMETERS
       Specifies a 16-bit integer in network-byte order.

DESCRIPTION
       The ntohs() (network-to-host short) function converts an unsigned short
       (16-bit) integer from Internet network-byte order to host-byte order.

       The  Internet  network requires address and port reference data in net‐
       work-byte order.	 You can use the ntohs() function to convert  Internet
       network address and port data to host-byte ordered integers.

RETURN VALUES
       The ntohs() function returns a 16-bit short integer in host-byte order.

ERRORS
       Current	industry  standards do not define error values for the ntohs()
       function.
