LIBRARY

       Utility functions from BSD systems (libbsd, -lbsd)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/endian.h>
       (See libbsd(7) for include usage.)

       uint16_t
       be16dec(const void *);

       uint32_t
       be32dec(const void *);

       uint64_t
       be64dec(const void *);

       uint16_t
       le16dec(const void *);

       uint32_t
       le32dec(const void *);

       uint64_t
       le64dec(const void *);

       void
       be16enc(void *, uint16_t);

       void
       be32enc(void *, uint32_t);

       void
       be64enc(void *, uint64_t);

       void
       le16enc(void *, uint16_t);

       void
       le32enc(void *, uint32_t);

DESCRIPTION

       The be16enc(), be16dec(), be32enc(), be32dec(), be64enc(), be64dec(),  le16enc(),  le16dec(),  le32enc(),
       le32dec(),  le64enc(),  and  le64dec()  functions  encode and decode integers to/from byte strings on any
       alignment in big/little endian format.

SEE ALSO

       byteorder(3)

HISTORY

       The encode/decode functions first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1.
