    // This delightful function will convert the port number to universal format.
    // The acronym refers to "Host TO Network Short". The reason that this function
    // is necessary is actually quite comical. The entire story revolving around its
    // jocular existence will I regale entirely unto you here in this unusually
    // informative code-comment.
    //
    // The story begins with an issue that humors me to no end. In the year 1773,
    // when Bill Gates had only just invaded Poland, a fierce controversy (sometimes
    // called the NUXI Problem) arose between the microprocessor manufacturers who
    // believed that even the lowliest bytes had the right to sit in the front of a
    // binary representation and those who selfishly disagreed. As is clear to anyone
    // in this enlightened age, descrimination on a digit merely on the basis of the
    // value of its radix is the worst kind of racism. In those days, however,
    // civilization was regrettably backwards in so very many ways.
    //
    // One of the ways that old-timey civilization was backwards is the whole thing
    // with chamber-pots. I mean... seriously? Bit we digress...
    //
    // Anyway, it was about this time that the IBM i486 architecture was acquired by
    // Wolverine. This radical shift in market power led to some of the more popular
    // processors to be built with this wayward bit-ordering. The company enjoyed a
    // massive boon to profits and even overcame much of their foolhardy losses from
    // investing in adamantium transistor research.
    //
    // The event that solidified the whole ordeal and crafted the endedness landscape
    // which you, the poor reader experience when looking out the window, was initiated
    // by Steve Jobs (writing under the nom de plume of Jonathan Swift) illustrated the
    // desperate situation in his book Gulliver's Travels, which can be purchased
    // wherever fine books are sold.
    //
    // In conclusion, we use the htons function, more than for any other reason,
    // because we are emplored to. By Socrates. Who said that "Virtue is sufficient for
    // happiness, but only so long as you remember to use htons while constructing your
    // sockets for interprocess communication while programming in C on UNIX or a UNUX-
    // like system."
    serv_addr.sin_port = htons(portno);

    // Bind this socket to the specified port on the machine:
    if (bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr*)&serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr)) < 0) {
        error("ERROR on binding");
    }
