NAME
----
tep_is_file_bigendian, tep_set_file_bigendian - Get / set the endianness of the
raw data being accessed by the tep handler.
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
--
*#include <event-parse.h>*
enum *tep_endian* {
TEP_LITTLE_ENDIAN = 0,
TEP_BIG_ENDIAN
};
bool *tep_is_file_bigendian*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
void *tep_set_file_bigendian*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, enum tep_endian _endian_);
--
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The _tep_is_file_bigendian()_ function gets the endianness of the raw data,
being accessed by the tep handler. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser
context.
The _tep_set_file_bigendian()_ function sets the endianness of raw data being
accessed by the tep handler. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
[verse]
--
The _endian_ argument is the endianness:
_TEP_LITTLE_ENDIAN_ - the raw data is in little endian format,
_TEP_BIG_ENDIAN_ - the raw data is in big endian format.
--
RETURN VALUE
------------
The _tep_is_file_bigendian()_ function returns true if the data is in bigendian
format, false otherwise.
EXAMPLE
-------
[source,c]
--
#include <event-parse.h>
...
struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
...
tep_set_file_bigendian(tep, TEP_LITTLE_ENDIAN);
...
if (tep_is_file_bigendian(tep)) {
/* The raw data is in big endian */
} else {
/* The raw data is in little endian */
}
--
FILES
-----

--
*event-parse.h*
Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs.
*-ltraceevent*
Linker switch to add when building a program that uses the library.
