/** @file endian_check.cpp

     4

 * This pretty simple file checks if the system is LITTLE_ENDIAN or BIG_ENDIAN

     5

 *  it does that by putting a 1 and a 0 in an array, and read it out as one

     6

 *  number. If it is 1, it is LITTLE_ENDIAN, if it is 256, it is BIG_ENDIAN

     7

 *

     8

 * After that it outputs the contents of an include files (endian.h)

     9

 *  that says or TTD_LITTLE_ENDIAN, or TTD_BIG_ENDIAN. Makefile takes

    10

 *  care of the real writing to the file. */
