Enumeration Type Documentation

enum imByteOrder

CPU Byte Orders.

Enumerator:

IM_LITTLEENDIAN	Little Endian - The most significant byte is on the right end of a word. Used by Intel processors.
IM_BIGENDIAN	Big Endian - The most significant byte is on the left end of a word. Used by Motorola processors, also is the network standard byte order.

Function Documentation

int imBinCPUByteOrder

(

void

)

Returns the current CPU byte order.

void imBinSwapBytes	(	void *	data,
		int	count,
		int	size
	)

Changes the byte order of an array of 2, 4 or 8 byte values.

void imBinSwapBytes2	(	void *	data,
		int	count
	)

Changes the byte order of an array of 2 byte values.

void imBinSwapBytes4	(	void *	data,
		int	count
	)

Inverts the byte order of the 4 byte values

void imBinSwapBytes8	(	void *	data,
		int	count
	)

Inverts the byte order of the 8 byte values
