SYNOPSIS
#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 *tep); void tep_set_local_bigendian(struct tep_handle *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:
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.
