System::ByteOrder Class Reference
#include <byteorder.h>
Detailed Description
Provides information and methods to help with byte ordering issues.The following byte orders are defined:
- ByteOrder::LittleEndian: Intel byte order
- ByteOrder::BigEndian: Motorola byte order
- ByteOrder::Network network byte order (always big endian)
- ByteOrder::Host hardwired to little or big endian depending on host cpu
NOTE: on console-platforms it is strongly recommended to store binary data in console-byte-order during asset processing on the development PC, so that the console doesn't waste loading time with byte conversions!
