Ah - thanks for the pointer - I was looking at /src/sys/sys/endian.h rather than the machine specific versions, which is why I didn't get anything out of it. For the archives, it appears that amd64, arm, i386, ia64, and pc98 are little endian. -- Rob Farmer > > -- > David Kelly N4HHE, dke...@hiwaay.net > ======================================================================== > Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
