R: System Endianness

is_big_endian {qs} | R Documentation

## System Endianness

### Description

Tests system endianness. Intel and AMD based systems are little endian, and so this function will likely return 'FALSE'. The 'qs' package is not capable of transferring data between systems of different endianness. This should not matter for the large majority of use cases.

### Usage

    is_big_endian()

### Value

'TRUE' if big endian, 'FALSE' if little endian.

### Examples

    is_big_endian() # returns FALSE on Intel/AMD systems
