numpy.record.newbyteorder¶

record.newbyteorder(new_order='S')¶

Return a new dtype with a different byte order.

Changes are also made in all fields and sub-arrays of the data type.

The new_order code can be any from the following:

‘S’ - swap dtype from current to opposite endian
{‘<’, ‘L’} - little endian
{‘>’, ‘B’} - big endian
{‘=’, ‘N’} - native order
{‘|’, ‘I’} - ignore (no change to byte order)

Parameters:

Parameters:	new_order : str, optional Byte order to force; a value from the byte order specifications above. The default value (‘S’) results in swapping the current byte order. The code does a case-insensitive check on the first letter of new_order for the alternatives above. For example, any of ‘B’ or ‘b’ or ‘biggish’ are valid to specify big-endian.
Returns:	new_dtype : dtype New `dtype` object with the given change to the byte order.

new_order : str, optional

Byte order to force; a value from the byte order specifications above. The default value (‘S’) results in swapping the current byte order. The code does a case-insensitive check on the first letter of new_order for the alternatives above. For example, any of ‘B’ or ‘b’ or ‘biggish’ are valid to specify big-endian.

Returns:

new_dtype : dtype

New dtype object with the given change to the byte order.
