Starboard Module Reference: byte_swap.h

  • This page documents functions designed to swap the byte order (endianness) of data.

  • These functions are crucial for managing data consistency during input/output operations, especially when dealing with systems that have different endianness.

  • The functions cover swapping byte order for signed and unsigned integers in sizes of 16, 32, and 64 bits.

  • Each function takes a single value as input and returns the value with its byte order swapped.

Specifies functions for swapping byte order. These functions are used to deal with endianness when performing I/O.
