+These functions convert 32-bit (`l' suffix) and 16-bit (`s' suffix)
+integers between network and host byte order.  On machines where the
+host byte order is the same as the network byte order, they are no-ops
+(assuming the values fit in the indicated size); otherwise, they
+perform 2-byte or 4-byte swap operations.
