NAME
     be16enc, be16dec, be32enc, be32dec, be64enc, be64dec, le16enc, le16dec,
     le32enc, le32dec, le64enc, le64dec - byte order operations

LIBRARY
     library "libbsd"

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/endian.h> (See libbsd(7) for include usage.)
     uint16_t
     be16dec(const void *);

     uint32_t
     be32dec(const void *);

     uint64_t
     be64dec(const void *);

     uint16_t
     le16dec(const void *);

     uint32_t
     le32dec(const void *);

     uint64_t
     le64dec(const void *);

     void
     be16enc(void *, uint16_t);

     void
     be32enc(void *, uint32_t);

     void
     be64enc(void *, uint64_t);

     void
     le16enc(void *, uint16_t);

     void
     le32enc(void *, uint32_t);

     void
     le64enc(void *, uint64_t);

DESCRIPTION
     The be16enc(), be16dec(), be32enc(), be32dec(), be64enc(), be64dec(),
     le16enc(), le16dec(), le32enc(), le32dec(), le64enc(), and le64dec()
     functions encode and decode integers to/from byte strings on any
     alignment in big/little endian format.

SEE ALSO
     byteorder(3)

HISTORY
     The encode/decode functions first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1.
