NAME
|
||||
----
|
||||
tep_is_bigendian, tep_is_local_bigendian, tep_set_local_bigendian - Get / set
|
||||
the endianness of the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
[verse]
|
||||
--
|
||||
*#include <event-parse.h>*
|
||||
|
||||
enum *tep_endian* {
|
||||
TEP_LITTLE_ENDIAN = 0,
|
||||
TEP_BIG_ENDIAN
|

};

DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_is_bigendian()_ gets the endianness of the machine, executing
|
||||
the function.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_is_local_bigendian()_ function gets the endianness of the local
|
||||
machine, saved in the _tep_ handler. The _tep_ argument is the trace event
|
||||
parser context. This API is a bit faster than _tep_is_bigendian()_, as it
|
||||
returns cached endianness of the local machine instead of checking it each time.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_set_local_bigendian()_ function sets the endianness of the local
|
||||
machine in the _tep_ handler. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
|
||||
The _endian_ argument is the endianness:
|
||||
[verse]
|
||||
--
|
||||
_TEP_LITTLE_ENDIAN_ - the machine is little endian,
|
||||
_TEP_BIG_ENDIAN_ - the machine is big endian.
|
||||
--
|
||||
|
||||
RETURN VALUE
|
||||
------------
|
||||
The _tep_is_bigendian()_ function returns non zero if the endianness of the
|
||||
machine, executing the code, is big endian and zero otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_is_local_bigendian()_ function returns true, if the endianness of the
|
||||
local machine, saved in the _tep_ handler, is big endian, or false otherwise.

||||

||||
EXAMPLE

...
|
||||
struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
|
||||
...
|
||||
if (tep_is_bigendian())
|
||||
tep_set_local_bigendian(tep, TEP_BIG_ENDIAN);
|
||||
else
|
||||
tep_set_local_bigendian(tep, TEP_LITTLE_ENDIAN);
|
||||
...
|
||||
if (tep_is_local_bigendian(tep))
|
||||
printf("This machine you are running on is bigendian\n");
|
||||
else
|
||||
printf("This machine you are running on is little endian\n");
