endian 
A small golang library to help deal with host-to-network and network-to-host endianness conversion
Disclaimer
Before using this library, please read and understand Rob Pike's blog post on the byte order fallacy. Long story short, whenever you need to worry about whether or not your code is running on a little endian or big endian machine, chances are you're wrong in your approach and should instead really be thinking about writing the code in an endianness-agnostic way, as Rob shows in his blog post.
In the limited cases where you do need to swap bytes around (perhaps because you call into a library that is "doing it wrong"), this small library can help.

Functions ¶
func HostToNetUint16 ¶
HostToNetUint16 swaps the bytes of the given value (if necessary) to turn them from network byte order to host byte order.
func HostToNetUint32 ¶
HostToNetUint32 swaps the bytes of the given value (if necessary) to turn them from network byte order to host byte order.
func HostToNetUint64 ¶
HostToNetUint64 swaps the bytes of the given value (if necessary) to turn them from network byte order to host byte order.
func NetToHostUint16 ¶
NetToHostUint16 swaps the bytes of the given value (if necessary) to turn them from network byte order to host byte order.
func NetToHostUint32 ¶
NetToHostUint32 swaps the bytes of the given value (if necessary) to turn them from network byte order to host byte order.
func NetToHostUint64 ¶
NetToHostUint64 swaps the bytes of the given value (if necessary) to turn them from network byte order to host byte order.
