LIBRARY

     Utility functions from BSD systems (libbsd, -lbsd)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/endian.h>
     (See libbsd(7) for include usage.)

     uint16_t
     be16dec(const void *);

     uint32_t
     be32dec(const void *);

     uint64_t
     be64dec(const void *);

     uint16_t
     le16dec(const void *);

     uint32_t
     le32dec(const void *);

     uint64_t
     le64dec(const void *);

     void
     be16enc(void *, uint16_t);

     void
     be32enc(void *, uint32_t);

     void
     be64enc(void *, uint64_t);

     void
     le16enc(void *, uint16_t);

     void
     le32enc(void *, uint32_t);

     void
     le64enc(void *, uint64_t);

DESCRIPTION

     The be16enc(), be16dec(), be32enc(), be32dec(), be64enc(), be64dec(), le16enc(), le16dec(),
     le32enc(), le32dec(), le64enc(), and le64dec() functions encode and decode integers to/from
     byte strings on any alignment in big/little endian format.

SEE ALSO

     byteorder(3)

HISTORY

     The encode/decode functions first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1.
