FUNCTION
<<swab>>---swap adjacent bytes
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
void swab(const void *<[in]>, void *<[out]>, ssize_t <[n]>);
DESCRIPTION
This function copies <[n]> bytes from the memory region
pointed to by <[in]> to the memory region pointed to by
<[out]>, exchanging adjacent even and odd bytes.
PORTABILITY
<<swab>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
