  20 .Sh SYNOPSIS
  21 .In endian.h
  22 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  23 The
  24 .In endian.h
  25 header defines functions and macros focused on converting data between
  26 the host machines native byte order and big or little-endian values.
  27 While the manual page details the macros defined by
  28 .In endian.h ,
  29 the functions are documented separately in
  30 .Xr endian 3C.
  31 More information on endianness and a general background on the topic can
  32 be found in
  33 .Xr byteorder 5 .

  35 The

  37 header defines the following macros:
  38 .Bl -tag -width Ds
  39 .It Sy LITTLE_ENDIAN
  40 A constant used to indicate a little-endian integer.
  41 It is always defined, regardless of the actual endianess of the underlying
  42 platform.
  43 This macro should be used to compare against the
  44 .Sy BYTE_ORDER
  45 macro.
  46 .It Sy BIG_ENDIAN
  47 A constant used to indicate a big-endian integer.
  48 It is always defined, regardless of the actual endianess of the underlying
