+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
+};
+
+int *tep_is_bigendian*(void);
+bool *tep_is_local_bigendian*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+void *tep_set_local_bigendian*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, enum tep_endian _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
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+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");
