Variable endian

immutable(Endian) endian = cast(Endian)1;
immutable(Endian) endian = cast(Endian)1;

Enum Endian

Byte order endianness.

enum Endian : int { ... }

Enum members

NameDescription
bigEndian Big endian byte order
littleEndian Little endian byte order

Note

This is intended for cases where you need to deal with endianness at runtime. If you're doing something which should compile differently depending on whether you're compiling on a big endian or little endian machine, then please use version(BigEndian) and version(LittleEndian).
