Solaris 5.8 - BinaryFile - Endianness

I used a HEX Editor and converted the binary file to BIG-endian format. And, then I ran the same parser code. It still returns garbage 
So, keeping the original Binary File intact, while reading, how do I judge the native datatype for byte swapping order - because these n/w apis suggest something like this -
ntohs() - “network to host short”
Converts the unsigned short integer netshort from network byte order to host byte order.
ntohl() - “network to host long”
Converts the unsigned integer netlong from network byte order to host byte order.

install-solaris install-solaris invokes the Solaris Install program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation, install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer. The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation: For SPARC machines: 128 MB Minimum physical memory for all installation types 128 MB Minimum physical memory required for windowing system 384 MB Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation For x86 machines: 256 MB Minimum physical memory for all installation types 256 MB Minimum physical memory required for windowing system 512 MB Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number of fea- tures available. install-solaris exists only on the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the for more details. install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the installation media.
