Function Documentation

int SC68byte_order

(

void

)

Get integer byte order.

The SC68byte_order() function returns an integer which gives the position of each byte in the memory.

Examples:

• Intel little endian will return 0x03020100.
• Motorola big endian will return 0x00010203.

Returns:

byte order.

int SC68little_endian

(

void

)

Check if byte order is little endian.

The SC68little_endian() function checks if the byte order is little endian.

Returns:

little endian test.

Return values:

1	byte order is little endian.
0	byte order is not little endian.

Warning:

The function only test if the less signifiant byte is stored at offset 0.

int SC68big_endian

(

void

)

Check if byte order is big endian.

The SC68big_endian() function checks if the byte order is big endian. By the way it returns !SC68little_endian().

Returns:

big endian test.

Return values:

1	byte order is big endian.
0	byte order is not big endian.
