swab(3C)swab(3C)NAMEswab() - swap bytes
SYNOPSISDESCRIPTION
copies nbytes bytes pointed to by from to the array pointed to by to,
exchanging adjacent even and odd bytes. It is useful for carrying
binary data between byte-swapped and non-byte-swapped machines. nbytes
should be even and non-negative. If nbytes is odd and positive uses
nbytes−1 instead. If nbytes is negative, does nothing.
