pcap_is_swapped — Prototype: int pcap_is_swapped(pcap_t *p)

Synopsis

Purpose: pcap_is_swapped returns 1 if the saved file referred to by p is in a different byte order than the byte order used in the underlying platform, or 0 if it is the same. If the saved file is in a different byte order, most platforms provide the ntohs( ) and ntohl() functions for converting network order to host order (i.e., big endian to little endian) and/or htons() and htonl( ) for converting host order to network order (i.e., little endian to big endian).
