be16enc , be16dec , be32enc , be32dec , be64enc , be64dec le16enc , le16dec , le32enc , le32dec , le64enc , le64dec - byte order operations

SYNOPSIS

In sys/endian.h (See libbsd(7) for include usage.) Ft uint16_t Fn be16dec const void * Ft uint32_t Fn be32dec const void * Ft uint64_t Fn be64dec const void * Ft uint16_t Fn le16dec const void * Ft uint32_t Fn le32dec const void * Ft uint64_t Fn le64dec const void * Ft void Fn be16enc void * uint16_t Ft void Fn be32enc void * uint32_t Ft void Fn be64enc void * uint64_t Ft void Fn le16enc void * uint16_t Ft void Fn le32enc void * uint32_t Ft void Fn le64enc void * uint64_t
