+====================
+
+Network
+-------
+
+.. function:: ntohs(netshort)
+
+ This subroutine converts values between the host and network byte order.
+ Specifically, **ntohs()** converts 16-bit quantities from network byte order to host byte order.
+
+ :param netshort: 16-bit short addr
+ :rtype: converted addr
+
+
+Cache
+-----
+
+.. function:: storeQueryInCache(qstate, qinfo, msgrep, is_referral)
+
+ Store pending query in local cache.
+
+ :param qstate: :class:`module_qstate`
+ :param qinfo: :class:`query_info`
+ :param msgrep: :class:`reply_info`
+ :param is_referal: integer
+ :rtype: boolean
+
+.. function:: invalidateQueryInCache(qstate, qinfo)
+
+ Invalidate record in local cache.
+
+ :param qstate: :class:`module_qstate`
