ms_gswap - Generalized, in-place byte swapping routines

#include <libmseed.h>
void  ms_gswap2 ( void *data2 );
void  ms_gswap3 ( void *data3 );
void  ms_gswap4 ( void *data4 );
void  ms_gswap8 ( void *data8 );
void  ms_gswap2a ( void *data2 );
void  ms_gswap4a ( void *data4 );
void  ms_gswap8a ( void *data8 );

These routines swap between LSBF (little-endian) and MSBF (big-endian) byte orders. The specified quantities are swapped in-place.

The ms_gswap*a routines are provided for backwards compatibility, but should not be used in new code. They are aliases for the regular versions above.
