| Method Summary | |
| public static ByteOrder | nativeOrder()
Retrieves the native byte order of the underlying platform.
This method is defined so that performance-sensitive Java code can
allocate direct buffers with the same byte order as the hardware.
Native code libraries are often more efficient when such buffers are
used. | | public String | toString()
Constructs a string describing this object. |
| BIG_ENDIAN | | final public static ByteOrder BIG_ENDIAN(Code) | | Constant denoting big-endian byte order. In this order, the bytes of a
multibyte value are ordered from most significant to least significant.
|
| LITTLE_ENDIAN | | final public static ByteOrder LITTLE_ENDIAN(Code) | | Constant denoting little-endian byte order. In this order, the bytes of
a multibyte value are ordered from least significant to most
significant.
|
| nativeOrder | | public static ByteOrder nativeOrder()(Code) | | Retrieves the native byte order of the underlying platform.
This method is defined so that performance-sensitive Java code can
allocate direct buffers with the same byte order as the hardware.
Native code libraries are often more efficient when such buffers are
used.
