Синопсис (Synopsis)

#define _XOPEN_SOURCE       /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
       #include <unistd.h>

       void swab(const void *restrict from, void *restrict to, ssize_t n);

Описание (Description)

The swab() function copies n bytes from the array pointed to by
       from to the array pointed to by to, exchanging adjacent even and
       odd bytes.  This function is used to exchange data between
       machines that have different low/high byte ordering.

       This function does nothing when n is negative.  When n is
       positive and odd, it handles n-1 bytes as above, and does
       something unspecified with the last byte.  (In other words, n
       should be even.)

Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

The swab() function returns no value.
