sorry, that's not very helpful...

more to the point is that there are a set of macros/functions designed for
this purpose (try man htons)... which avoids thinking to hard about
transferring between endian-ness of machines.

I'm not sure why the BSWAP32 is being used instead of one of the network
macros... maybe a red-herring but...
