Hi Prakash,
 The inet_aton is NOT for handling endianness its for converting the Ip
address from standard numbers dot notation( that is easily understood by
everyone) to binary ( understood by computer).

For handling endianness the functions such as hotnl, ntohs etc. are used
whcich convert the data from host to network byte order or vice versa.
