I am rewrite a C program in order to make it portable between differents arch and I am a bit confused regarding byte order. I am getting the list of my interfaces using the getifaddr() functions and it seems return me a list of interfaces with their IP addresses in network byte order instead of host byte order. It is a regular behavior or I am wrong and confused ? Many thanks, Pietro
