bool get_is_big_endian()
Returns 1 if machine is big endian else 0.
bool get_is_little_endian()
Returns 1 if machine is little endian else 0.
void reversed_read(void *dest, size_t size, size_t nitems, std::ifstream &f, bool reverse)
Reads from file in normal or reverse order.
void reversed_write(const void *src, size_t size, size_t nitems, std::ofstream &f, bool reverse=false)
Writes to a file in normal or reversed order.
