Hello,

What is a difference between the 2 following?
include/net/sock.h :

struct sock{
[...]

unsigned short num; /* Local port */
__u16 sport; /* Source port */

[..]

Thanks,

num is the port number assigned to the sock{}, which is in HBO or host byte
order. It should be converted to NBO or network byte order using htons().
The result is stored in sport.
