That much I know, so let me rephrase the question: is network byte order
also defined for single precision IEEE floats ? If not, is there a de

Is it true on the common platforms that using
ntohl and htonl on
floats will always result in compatible data on the wire or in a
file ? In other words, are floats byte-swapped consistently w.r.t.
the Intel format on all big-endian systems ?
network byte order was defined to be big-endian in the early 1980s.
those two functions create big-endian 32 bit representations regardless
of the host platform.
