Hi: As far as I know, we can use an integer 0x12345678 with four bytes and bytes[4] array to figure out a machine's byteorder Is there a method use only one byte 0x01 and some shifts do the same work? Thank you. --------------- jiangtao _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
