Method Details
-
nativeOrder
Retrieves the native byte order of the underlying platform.This method is defined so that performance-sensitive Java code can allocate direct buffers with the same byte order as the hardware. Native code libraries are often more efficient when such buffers are used.
- Returns:
- The native byte order of the hardware upon which this Java virtual machine is running
-
toString
Constructs a string describing this object.This method returns the string
"BIG_ENDIAN"
forBIG_ENDIAN
and"LITTLE_ENDIAN"
forLITTLE_ENDIAN
