Bob:
Thats strange... when I do
man byteorder
(on my FreeBSD 8.0 system upgraded to head .. buildworld/installworld/
et.al)
I get the same man age showing for both
man ntohl
and
man byteorder
This may just be a problem with my system.. I will check the other
8.0 installed systems at work when I get in this AM.
I think what's needed here is some hint inside the man ntohl
that for 64 bit quantities should use be64toh/htobe64 and a
reference to that man page..

The problem is there is NO clue in the system...
Already done, at least in 7.2. But it refers you to them under the
alias byteorder(9).
