I'm not sure what you're after, but you might find that htonl(),
htons(), ntohl() and ntohs() are what you're after. They convert
unsigned shorts and unsigned longs between machine native ('host') order
and the tcp/ip ('network') order.

(See winsock2.h)

There are also similar functions with the WSA prefix, but which are more
complicated and which don't, on first sight, do anything extra.
