<QtEndian> - Endian Conversion Functions

T qFromLittleEndian ( const uchar * src )

Reads a little-endian number from memory location src and returns the number in the host byte order representation. On CPU architectures where the host byte order is big-endian (such as PowerPC) this will swap the byte order; otherwise it will just read from src.

Note: Template type T can either be a qint16, qint32 or qint64. Other types of integers, e.g., qlong, are not applicable.

There are no data alignment constraints for src.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.

See also qFromBigEndian(), qToBigEndian(), and qToLittleEndian().

T qFromLittleEndian ( T src )

This is an overloaded function.

Converts src from little-endian byte order and returns the number in host byte order representation of that number. On CPU architectures where the host byte order is big-endian (such as PowerPC) this will return src with the byte order swapped; otherwise it will return src unmodified.
