Macro Definition Documentation

#define BIG_ENDIAN magic-number

A numeric constant representing big endian byte order.

Definition at line 41 of file endian.h.

#define BYTE_ORDER <LITTLE_ENDIAN or BIG_ENDIAN>

The byte order of this machines indicated by the constant BIG_ENDIAN or LITTLE_ENDIAN.

Note: This numeric constant is available at preprocessor time, so you can compare this to BIG_ENDIAN or LITTLE_ENDIAN in #if directives.

Definition at line 56 of file endian.h.

#define LITTLE_ENDIAN magic-number

A numeric constant representing little endian byte order.

Definition at line 36 of file endian.h.

#define PDP_ENDIAN magic-number

A numeric constant representing PDP endian byte order.

Definition at line 46 of file endian.h.
