NAME
     nuxi - routines to convert between little and big-endian
          byte order

SYNOPSIS
     void nuxis(s);
     short  s;

     void nuxil(l);
     long  l;

DESCRIPTION
     Nuxi_s swaps bytes within a 16 bit short value and returns
     the swapped result.  If a and b are representable in 8 bits,
     then:

          nuxi_s((a<<8)|b) == (b<<8)|a

     nuxi_l swaps bytes within a 32 bit long value and returns
     the swapped result.  If a, b, c, and d are representable in
     8 bits, then:

          nuxi_l((a<<24)|(b<<16)|(c<<8)|d) == (d<<24)|(c<<16)|(b<<8)|a
