Specifies functions for swapping byte order. These functions are used to deal
with endianness when performing I/O.
Functions
SbByteSwapS16
Unconditionally swaps the byte order in signed 16-bit value. value: The
value for which the byte order will be swapped.
Declaration
int16_t SbByteSwapS16(int16_t value)
SbByteSwapS32
Unconditionally swaps the byte order in signed 32-bit value. value: The
value for which the byte order will be swapped.
Declaration
int32_t SbByteSwapS32(int32_t value)
SbByteSwapS64
Unconditionally swaps the byte order in signed 64-bit value. value: The
value for which the byte order will be swapped.
Declaration
int64_t SbByteSwapS64(int64_t value)
SbByteSwapU16
Unconditionally swaps the byte order in unsigned 16-bit value. value: The
value for which the byte order will be swapped.
Declaration
uint16_t SbByteSwapU16(uint16_t value)
SbByteSwapU32
Unconditionally swaps the byte order in unsigned 32-bit value. value: The
value for which the byte order will be swapped.
Declaration
uint32_t SbByteSwapU32(uint32_t value)
SbByteSwapU64
Unconditionally swaps the byte order in unsigned 64-bit value. value: The
value for which the byte order will be swapped.
Declaration
uint64_t SbByteSwapU64(uint64_t value)

Six functions are detailed: `SbByteSwapS16`, `SbByteSwapS32`, and `SbByteSwapS64` swap the byte order of signed 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit values, respectively. Similarly, `SbByteSwapU16`, `SbByteSwapU32`, and `SbByteSwapU64` perform the same operation on unsigned 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit values. Each function takes a value as input and returns the byte-swapped result.\n"]]
