The standard 'C' library doesn't seem to provide any. The linux-kernel headers provide __cpu_to_leXX and __leXX_to_cpu, so I use them. But Redhat/Fedora seem to take this as an affront to the rightness of things and complain, saying I should use "endian.h". However on SuSE and Debian, 'endian.h' doesn't contain any function to manipulate byte order. So my plea for help: Could someone with a Redhat installation please see if there is any way to get functions that convert between little endian and host endian, or if there is some name I can #define to disable the 'private kernel header' warning..
