Peter: Thank you very much! I've read the url. But it's not what i mean to ask for. Those methods all use an int or a short number and converting. What I really want to ask for is: unsigned char byte = 0b00000100; do some shifts like byte << 1 then find out the machine's byteorder Is there some difference of the storge between BE and LE machine inside a byte? Thank you. 2012/2/18 Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx>: > I found: > > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2100331/c-macro-definition-to-determine-big-endian-or-little-endian-machine > > On Sat, Feb 18, 2012 at 12:33 PM, Tao Jiang <jiangtao.jit@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> 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 > > > > -- > Peter Senna Tschudin > peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx > gpg id: 48274C36 _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
