I have to use the two functions to convert the transmission data between client and server, the problem is that the data buffer must necessarily be uint8_t but ntohs and htons want uint16_t otherwise they don't work; so I have to bring the data into uint16_t and convert it back to uint8_t. but the data converted and brought to uint8_t are null, that is '0'. where am i wrong?

8`uint8_t` is a single byte. Endianess doesn't apply to a single byte. – Thomas Jager Jun 19 '20 at 21:38

You don't need to use the htons or ntohs functions for a uint8_t variable, since it is only one byte. You htons/ntohs for uint16_t variables and htonl/ntohl for uint32_t variables.
Check this link, this might help you.
