Returns:

The endianness.

uint64_t hostToNetwork

(

uint64_t

n

)

throw () [static]

Convert an unsigned 64-bit integer from host to network byte-order.

static uint32_t hostToNetwork

(

uint32_t

n

)

throw () [inline, static]

static uint16_t hostToNetwork

(

uint16_t

n

)

throw () [inline, static]

Convert an unsigned 16-bit integer from host to network byte-order.

bool isBigEndian

(

)

throw () [static]

Determine if the host system is big-endian.

Returns:

true if the host system is big-endian, false otherwise.

static bool isLittleEndian

(

)

throw () [inline, static]

Determine if the host system is little-endian.

Returns:

true if the host system is little-endian, false otherwise.

uint64_t networkToHost

(

uint64_t

n

)

throw () [static]

Convert an unsigned 64-bit integer from network to host byte-order.

static uint32_t networkToHost

(

uint32_t

static T& reverseBytes

(

T &

value

)

throw () [inline, static]

Reverse the bytes in a value.

This method may be used to toggle the endianness of an arbitrary value.

Parameters:

value

The value.

Returns:

The value.
