Look at Haddock for PortNumber:
newtype PortNumber
Constructors
PortNum Word16
Instances
Enum PortNumber
Eq PortNumber
Integral PortNumber
Num PortNumber
Ord PortNumber
Real PortNumber
Show PortNumber
Typeable PortNumber
Storable PortNumber
Try it in ghci:
Prelude Network.Socket> 15 :: PortNumber
15
Prelude Network.Socket> PortNum 15
3840
Prelude Network.Socket> (fromIntegral (15::Int))::PortNumber
15
So, in essence, there are *many* functions that let you do this. You
should not be needing to construct PortNum by hand.
