.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Dv __STDC_ENDIAN_NATIVE__
macro describes the byte order or endianness of the machine for which the
program is built.
If the machine has big-endian byte order, this macro is equal to
.Dv __STDC_ENDIAN_BIG__ .
If the machine has little-endian byte order, this macro is equal to
.Dv __STDC_ENDIAN_LITTLE__ .
Otherwise, the macro has a value that is equal to neither.
.Pp
The bit and byte utility functions analyze the bits within a datum.
Each function
.Em func
is provided in five variants
.Nm stdc_ Ns Em func Ns Em _ Ns Em type Ns Pq Em value
where
.Fa value
is of type
.Va unsigned char ,
.Va unsigned short ,
.Va unsigned int ,
.Va unsigned long ,
or
.Va unsigned long long
for
.Em type
being
.Sy uc ,
.Sy us ,
.Sy ui ,
.Sy ul ,
or
.Sy ull
respectively.
Additionally, for each
.Em func ,
a type-generic macro
.Nm stdc_ Ns Em func Ns Pq Em value
that picks the appropriate function
.Nm stdc_ Ns Em func Ns Em _ Ns Em type Ns Pq Em value
based on the type of
.Fa value
is provided.
