PR_SET_ENDIAN - set endianness of the calling process
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#include <linux/prctl.h> /* Definition of PR_* constants */ #include <sys/prctl.h> int prctl(PR_SET_ENDIAN, long endianness);
Set the endian-ness of the calling process to the value given in endianness, which should be one of the following: PR_ENDIAN_BIG, PR_ENDIAN_LITTLE, or PR_ENDIAN_PPC_LITTLE (PowerPC pseudo little endian).
On success, 0 is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
EINVAL endianness is not a valid value.
Linux. PowerPC only.
