Getting service port with getservbyname()

Hi,
the following code

Code:

---

int main()
{
        struct servent* se = getservbyname("telnet", "tcp");
        printf("%d\n", se->s_port);
}

---

prints as port number 5888 but in /etc/services this protocol has default port 23. And generally, getting port value with this function for any service differs from the values written in /etc/services. Why is that happening?
Thanks

try converting it to host byte order.

Code:

---

printf("%d\n", ntohs(se->s_port));

---

It works, thanks.
