htons/ntohs, htonl/ntohl convert between host byte order and network
byte order, which is big endian. Those functions are a noop for a big
endian system. It is a common mistake to think htons and co will
unconditionally swap bytes.

I need a function that converts between host byte order and little
endian, and i already know how to do that.
