rtapi_byteorder.h \- RTAPI wrappers for linux kernel functionality

.HP
|
|
#include <rtapi_byteorder.h>
|
|
.TP
|
|
RTAPI_BIG_ENDIAN
|
|
Defined to 1 if the platform is big-endian, 0 otherwise
|
|
.TP
|
|
RTAPI_LITTLE_ENDIAN
|
|
Defined to 1 if the platform is little-endian, 0 otherwise
|
|
.TP
|
|
RTAPI_FLOAT_BIG_ENDIAN
|
|
Defined to 1 if the platform double-precision value is big-endian, 0 otherwise.
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
In kernel space, each rtapi_xxx or RTAPI_XXX identifier is mapped to the
|
|
underlying kernel functionality, if available.
|
|
|
|
In userspace, or in kernels where the underlying functionality is not provided
|
|
by a kernel, generally another implementation--possibly with reduced
|
|
functionality--is provided. (For example, the userspace implementation for
|
|
rtapi_byteorder_register always succeeds)
|
|
|
|
.SH REALTIME CONSIDERATIONS
|
|
May be used at any time.
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
As in Linux.
