tep_is_file_bigendian - Man Page
Get / set the endianness of the raw data being accessed by the tep handler.
Synopsis
#include <event-parse.h> enum tep_endian { TEP_LITTLE_ENDIAN = 0, TEP_BIG_ENDIAN }; bool tep_is_file_bigendian(struct tep_handle *tep); void tep_set_file_bigendian(struct tep_handle *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.
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
#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.
