GETBE(2)                                                 GETBE(2)

     NAME
          getbe, putbe, getle, putle - integer marshalling

     SYNOPSIS
          uvlong getbe(uchar *buf, int nbytes)

          void   putbe(uchar *buf, uvlong v, int nbytes)

          uvlong getle(uchar *buf, int nbytes)

          void   putle(uchar *buf, uvlong v, int nbytes)

     DESCRIPTION
          These functions marshal a 1- to 8-byte integer to or from
          little- or big-endian formats.  The size of the integer is
          specified in bytes, and is not restricted to a power of two.

     SEE ALSO
          fcall(2), ip(2)

     BUGS
          GBIT* and PBIT* (from fcall(2)) provide similar functional-
          ity for little-endian integers.  The nhget* and nhput* func-
          tions from ip(2) provide similar functionality  for big-
          endian integers.
