NAME

|
----
|
|
tep_is_bigendian, tep_is_local_bigendian, tep_set_local_bigendian - Get / set
|
|
the endianness of the local machine.

SYNOPSIS

|
|
*#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.
