A years-earlier "by-hand" example of related coding in plain-C is scripts/recordmcount.c in the source code for Linux kernel.
Yep, functions like htonl have been in use in C for decades. It is sad to see this standardization to little-endian (e.g. ppc64->ppc64le), which weakens the ability to code things right because everything works in the majority of the machines. I would have personally preferred the world to go to big-endian, since it makes memory dumps much more readable and int size errors very fatally evident. Instead, I would expect somebody to soon propose switching the IP protocol to little endian "because, hey, the rest of the world is little-endian, right?". regards.
