title: Why is there no available byte order conversion method for floating-point numbers? Also, why do floating-point numbers work without conversion?
body: <p>I am working on parsing packets received in binary format. I have to do byte order conversion for integrals, but it is a bit strange for me as it seems floating-point numbers work fine without conversion. Are floating-point numbers are always in little-endian byte order? Why don't we have ntof or ntod function in arpa/inet or other Unix network libraries?</p>
