Because these functions become static for compilers that do not support inline functions, this header should only be included in files that actually use them. <<Color2(green,Does the following belong on this page?

Byte Order and Byte Swapping
Include File(s): SDL_endian.h
Introduction
This category contains functions for reading and writing endian-specific values.
Endianness comes in two forms - big and little.
- SDL_LIL_ENDIAN means byte order is 1234, where the smaller (little) numbered position comes first
- SDL_BIG_ENDIAN means byte order is 4321, where the larger (big) numbered position comes first
