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");
