NAME
bswap16,
bswap32,
bswap64
—
byte-order swapping functions
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <machine/bswap.h>
uint16_t
bswap16(
uint16_t);
uint32_t
bswap32(
uint32_t);
uint64_t
bswap64(
uint64_t);
DESCRIPTION
The
bswap16(),
bswap32(), and
bswap64() functions return the value of their argument with
the bytes inverted. They can be used to convert 16, 32 or 64 bits integers
from little to big endian, or vice-versa.
