NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     bswap16, bswap32, bswap64 - byte-order swapping functions

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <machine/bswap.h>

     u_int16_t
     bswap16(u_int16_t);

     u_int32_t
     bswap32(u_int32_t);

     u_int64_t
     bswap64(u_int64_t);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
