.SH DESCRIPTION
|
2007-05-12 09:06:04 +00:00
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.BR swab ()
|
|
|
|
function copies \fIn\fP bytes from the array pointed
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
to by \fIfrom\fP to the array pointed to by \fIto\fP, exchanging
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
adjacent even and odd bytes.
|
|
|
|
This function is used to exchange data
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
between machines that have different low/high byte ordering.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
This function does nothing when \fIn\fP is negative.
|
2007-11-29 18:15:54 +00:00
|
|
|
When \fIn\fP is positive and odd, it handles \fIn\-1\fP bytes
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
as above, and does something unspecified with the last byte.
|
|
|
|
(In other words, \fIn\fP should be even.)
|
|
