Platform byte order.

Package Exports

  • @stdlib/os-byte-order

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/os-byte-order) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Byte Order

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status dependencies

Platform byte order.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/os-byte-order

Usage

var BYTE_ORDER = require( '@stdlib/os-byte-order' );

BYTE_ORDER

Platform byte order.

console.log( BYTE_ORDER );
// => <string>

Notes

  • The following values are possible:

    • 'little-endian'
    • 'big-endian'
    • 'mixed-endian' (also known as "middle-endian")
    • 'unknown'

Examples

var BYTE_ORDER = require( '@stdlib/os-byte-order' );

if ( BYTE_ORDER === 'little-endian' ) {
    console.log( 'Least significant byte comes first...' );
} else if ( BYTE_ORDER === 'big-endian' ) {
    console.log( 'Most significant byte comes first...' );
} else {
    console.log( 'This is uncommon...' );
}

C APIs

Installation

npm install @stdlib/os-byte-order

Usage

#include "stdlib/os/byte_order.h"

STDLIB_OS_ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN

Macro for an arbitrary constant indicating little-endian order.

#if defined(STDLIB_OS_BYTE_ORDER) && STDLIB_OS_BYTE_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN

// Do something for little-endian...

#endif

If compiled on an unrecognized/unsupported platform, the macro is not defined.

STDLIB_OS_ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN

Macro for an arbitrary constant indicating big-endian order.

#if defined(STDLIB_OS_BYTE_ORDER) && STDLIB_OS_BYTE_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN

// Do something for big-endian...

#endif

If compiled on an unrecognized/unsupported platform, the macro is not defined.

STDLIB_OS_BYTE_ORDER

Macro which equals either STDLIB_OS_ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN or STDLIB_OS_ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN (or host defined) depending on the resolved platform byte order.

#if defined(STDLIB_OS_BYTE_ORDER)

#if STDLIB_OS_BYTE_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN

// Do something for little-endian...

#elif STDLIB_OS_BYTE_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN

// Do something for big-endian...

#endif

#endif

If compiled on an unrecognized/unsupported platform, the macro is not defined.

Examples

#include "stdlib/os/byte_order.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
#if defined(STDLIB_OS_BYTE_ORDER)
#if STDLIB_OS_BYTE_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN
    printf( "Platform is little-endian...\n" );
#elif STDLIB_OS_BYTE_ORDER == STDLIB_OS_ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN
    printf( "Platform is big-endian...\n" );
#else
    printf( "Platform endianness is either mixed-endian or unknown...\n" )
#endif
#endif
}
