htonl() is for 32-bit data, the original question was regarding
8-byte doubles.

The htonl() functions and friends are for XDR data representation,
so the OP can check the XDR API functions for a double conversion
routine, or a function to implement it can be easily written.

CDR functions for doubles definitely exist.
