[PATCH] Add back-up implementation of be32toh()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Randy MacLeod <Randy.MacLeod@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Older systems may not have the be32toh function defined. Check for this
and fall back to checking the endianness and calling bswap_32 directly
if needed.  This works on both old and new systems.
