gd_endianness(3)		    GETDATA		      gd_endianness(3)

NAME
       gd_endianness — report the byte sex of fields in a dirfile

SYNOPSIS
       #include <getdata.h>

       unsigned long gd_endianness(DIRFILE *dirfile, int fragment_index);

DESCRIPTION
       The gd_endianness() function queries a dirfile(5) database specified by
       dirfile and returns the byte sex for  the  fragment  indexed  by	 frag‐
       ment_index.  The byte sex of a fragment indicate the endianness of data
       stored in binary files associated with RAW fields defined in the speci‐
       fied  fragment.	 The endianness of a fragment containing no RAW fields
       is not meaningful.

       The dirfile argument must point to a valid  DIRFILE  object  previously
       created by a call to gd_open(3).

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, gd_endianness() returns the byte sex of the
       specified fragment, which will be either GD_BIG_ENDIAN or GD_LITTLE_EN‐
       DIAN,  bitwise-or'd with either GD_ARM_ENDIAN or GD_NOT_ARM_ENDIAN, in‐
       dicating whether double-precision floating point data in this  fragment
       are  stored  in the old ARM middle-endian format.  On error, it returns
       zero and sets the dirfile error to a non-zero  error  value.   Possible
       error values are:

       GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE
	       The supplied dirfile was invalid.

       GD_E_BAD_INDEX
	       The supplied index was out of range.

       The  dirfile error may be retrieved by calling gd_error(3).  A descrip‐
       tive error string for the last error encountered can be obtained from a
       call to gd_error_string(3).
