SYNOPSIS

       #include <linux/prctl.h>  /* Definition of PR_* constants */
       #include <sys/prctl.h>

DESCRIPTION

       be one of the following: PR_ENDIAN_BIG, PR_ENDIAN_LITTLE, or PR_ENDIAN_PPC_LITTLE (PowerPC
       pseudo little endian).

RETURN VALUE

       On  success,  0  is  returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the
