isBigEndian: returns true if this machine is big endian
isLittleEndian: returns true if this maching is little endian
ntohl: converts a integer to host byteorder
ntonl: converts a integer to network byteorder
ntohs: converts a short to host byteorder
ntons: converts a short to network byteorder

See the Interface file for details.
