Hmmm @ec6e9c30, doesn’t seem to be POSIX, but most libc seem to provide bswap(3) which I’d use optionally #if the target is big endian, then cast to the target struct.

I don’t think there’s a better way at machine level, e.g. in Zig with comptime and @byteSwap builtin it would look less like a hack but 🤷 

 @ec6e9c30, could thou elaborate on the task?  As in a homogeneous buffer with dynamic length or a packed struct? 

 k @af151d0b so what’s the word for being sexually attracted to rectangles again? 

 alone gives me a big feeling of loneliness
