If I use ntohl() on an integer which is already in host byte order will that cause any problems?

If not, how does the ntohl() function know its argument is already in host byte order?

    Your question doesn’t make any sense. For ntohl nothing is high-order or low-order.

    • If the endianness of the system is the same as network order, it will do nothing
    • Otherwise it will swap stuff around
