Subject: [Bluez-users] Byte order for baddr-to-string

Hello all,

I observe that the bluez-libs functions

int ba2str(const bdaddr_t *, char *);

char * batostr(const bdaddr_t *);

deliver strings with different byte order. Is it just
me making a slip of mind regarding netorder or endianness,
or is there a deeper reason that I fail to comprehend?
I observe the same thing on i386 architecture as well
as on cris architecture.


Thanks for any pointers or corrections.

Best regards

M E Andersson

it is part of the specification. The user visible presentation is
different from the wire one.
