ByteOrder (moe.ios.core API)

java.lang.Object
- java.nio.ByteOrder

public final class ByteOrder
extends Object

Defines byte order constants.

Field Summary

Fields
Modifier and Type	Field	Description
`static ByteOrder`	`BIG_ENDIAN`	This constant represents big endian.
`static ByteOrder`	`LITTLE_ENDIAN`	This constant represents little endian.
`boolean`	`needsSwap`	This is the only thing that ByteOrder is really used for: to know whether we need to swap bytes to get this order, given bytes in native order.

Method Summary

- Field Detail
  - BIG_ENDIAN
```
public static final ByteOrder BIG_ENDIAN
```
    This constant represents big endian.
  - LITTLE_ENDIAN
```
public static final ByteOrder LITTLE_ENDIAN
```
    This constant represents little endian.
  - needsSwap
```
public final boolean needsSwap
```
    This is the only thing that ByteOrder is really used for: to know whether we need to swap bytes to get this order, given bytes in native order. (That is, this is the opposite of the hypothetical "isNativeOrder".)
- Method Detail
  - nativeOrder
```
public static ByteOrder nativeOrder()
```
    Returns the current platform byte order.
    
    Returns:
    
    the byte order object, which is either LITTLE_ENDIAN or BIG_ENDIAN.
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns a string that describes this object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    "BIG_ENDIAN" for ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN objects, "LITTLE_ENDIAN" for ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN objects.
