DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The putshort() function puts short  byte  quantities  into
       the byte stream or arbitrary byte boundaries.

       The  putshort()  function  is  one of a set of subroutines
       that form the resolver, a set of  functions  that  resolve
       domain  names.  Global  information  that  is  used by the
       resolver functions is kept in the _res data structure. The
       /include/resolv.h file contains the _res structure definition.
