EndianOrder Class

Represents an endian byte order interoperability class.

Namespace: Gemstone
Assembly: Gemstone.Common (in Gemstone.Common.dll) Version: 1.0.128 -- Release Build+d050cfc5563c89a1188cc3c6b2d417530856f490

Remarks

Intel systems use little-endian byte order, other systems, such as Unix, use big-endian byte ordering. Little-endian ordering means bits are ordered such that the bit whose in-memory representation is right-most is the most-significant-bit in a byte. Big-endian ordering means bits are ordered such that the bit whose in-memory representation is left-most is the most-significant-bit in a byte.

Constructors

EndianOrder Constructs a new instance of the EndianOrder class.
