ByteOrder¶

class ByteOrder(byteOrderStr=None)[source]¶

Bases: object

“Class to hold the byte order of a binary table”

Methods Summary

`fromString`(byteOrderStr)	Sets this value from a string.
`getByteOrder`()	Returns the byte order name, which is equivalent to sys.byteorder when isNative() returns True.
`isNative`()	Returns true if this ByteOrder is equvialent to the native byteorder as found in sys.byteorder.

Methods Documentation

fromString(byteOrderStr)[source]¶: Sets this value from a string. Recognized strings are ‘Little_Endian’, ‘Big_Endian’ and ‘Native’. ‘Native’ endian sets the byte order name to be the value of sys.byteorder. ‘Little_Endian’ sets the byte order name to ‘little’ and ‘Big_Endian’ sets the byte order name to ‘big’

getByteOrder()[source]¶: Returns the byte order name, which is equivalent to sys.byteorder when isNative() returns True. This is the string that can be used in the byteorder field of the from_bytes methods of the native python types.

isNative()[source]¶: Returns true if this ByteOrder is equvialent to the native byteorder as found in sys.byteorder.
