Hi,

Just wondering if Linux has a command or something we can use to check if it 
uses Little-Endian or Big-Endian.  This is an embedded Linux running on 
MIPS.

Thanks,


TJ

#include <stdio.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>

int main() {
    if (htons(1) == 1) puts("big endian");
    else puts("little endian");
    return 0;
}

Works on any *nix ;-)

Greetings,
Aaron
