15// Bswapcpy //
16// //
17// Initial version: Apr 22, 2000 //
18// //
19// A set of inline byte swapping routines for arrays. //
20// //
21// The bswapcpy16() and bswapcpy32() routines are used for packing //
22// arrays of basic types into a buffer in a byte swapped order. Use //
23// of asm and the `bswap' opcode (available on i486 and up) reduces //
24// byte swapping overhead on linux. //
25// //
26// Use of routines is similar to that of memcpy. //
27// //
28// ATTENTION: //
29// //
30// n - is a number of array elements to be copied and byteswapped. //
31// (It is not the number of bytes!) //
32// //
33// For arrays of short type (2 bytes in size) use bswapcpy16(). //
34// For arrays of of 4-byte types (int, float) use bswapcpy32(). //
35// //
