BSWAP(3)                NetBSD Library Functions Manual               BSWAP(3)


NAME

     bswap16, bswap32, bswap64 -- byte-order swapping functions


LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <machine/bswap.h>

     uint16_t
     bswap16(uint16_t);

     uint32_t
     bswap32(uint32_t);

     uint64_t
     bswap64(uint64_t);


DESCRIPTION

     The bswap16(), bswap32(), and bswap64() functions return the value of
     their argument with the bytes inverted.  They can be used to convert 16,
     32 or 64 bits integers from little to big endian, or vice-versa.
