-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");
