numpy.record.newbyteorder

method

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
• {‘<’, ‘little’} - little endian
• {‘>’, ‘big’} - big endian
• ‘=’ - native order
• {‘|’, ‘I’} - ignore (no change to byte order)

Parameters

new_orderstr, optional

Byte order to force; a value from the byte order specifications above. The default value (‘S’) results in swapping the current byte order.

Returns

new_dtypedtype

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