Function Documentation

int cl_bswap32

(

int

x

)

Swaps the byte order of a integer.

This function is a portable bswap implementation allowing explicit conversion to little-endian format (by a combination of cl_bswap32() and htonl())

Note that this function will work correctly with 32bit and larger int data types.

Parameters

x	The integer whose bytes are to be reordered.

Returns

The reordered integer.
