AIX endian again

Hi all I know AIX is big-endian machine.But does it read bytes in normal way from LSB. Does it happen in some machine that at multi-byte integer level it is Little-endian and while reading a single byte it is Big-Endian. This is urgent Thanks in advance.

Endian Conversion

Hi everybody, I met this week a problem. For now, we used TRU64 system based on alpha. Now, we're installing UP-UX systems (on Itanium). And we have problem with our files. Indeed, we use file with COMP-3, COMP-5 data. These files are used on both platforms. (we use also TXT files which...

Hi, We are trying to migrate an oracle database from Sun Solaris (SunOS 5.9 Generic_118558-28 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60) to Linux 2.6.18-53.1.19.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 22 03:01:10 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux which is basically a Big Endian to Little Endian conversion. We shutdown...

question about the little-endian in sparc

hi folks, in the sparc v9 manul , it says it is possible to access the memory data in little-endian mode, but there is only privilaged instruction that could set the PSTATE ( the cle bit ) regist. if I'm in the user mode , is it possible for me to access the data in little-endian mode?

mlib_VectorReverseByteOrder(3MLIB)			    mediaLib Library Functions				mlib_VectorReverseByteOrder(3MLIB)

NAME

       mlib_VectorReverseByteOrder - reverse byte order of vector

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lmlib [ library... ]
       #include <mlib.h>

       mlib_status mlib_VectorReverseByteOrder(void *z, const void *x,
	    mlib_s32 n, mlib_s32 s);

DESCRIPTION

       The  mlib_VectorReverseByteOrder() function changes the encoding of each element from big endian to little endian, or from little endian to
       big endian.

       It copies and reverses the byte order of each element of the input vector into the output vector.

PARAMETERS

       The function takes the following arguments:

       z    Pointer to the output vector.

       x    Pointer to the input vector.

       n    Number of elements in the vectors.

       s    Size of elements in bytes.

RETURN VALUES

       The function returns MLIB_SUCCESS if successful. Otherwise it returns MLIB_FAILURE.
