The endian-ness issues (that is the difference between big-endian and
|
|
|
|
|
little-endian architectures) are important for the portable programs working
|
|
|
|
|
with the external binary data (for example, data files or data coming from
|
|
|
|
|
network) which is usually in some fixed, platform-independent format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The macros are helpful for transforming the data to the correct format.
