ms_bigendianhost - Determine host computer byte order
Contents
Description
ms_bigendianhost is a run-time test of host computer byte order. It is assumed that there are only two
possible byte orders: Most Significant Byte First (MSBF), i.e. big-endian, and Least Significant Byte
First (LSBF), i.e. little-endian. No middle-endian schemes are accounted for.
Binary quantities in SEED are commonly big-endian, but it is not necessarily so.
Name
ms_bigendianhost - Determine host computer byte order
Return Values
ms_bigendianhost returns 1 if the host is big-endian and 0 if the host is little-endian.
