How to figure out the byteorder only with one byte number?

[Tao Jiang]

Peter:

Thank you very much!
I've read the url.
But it's not what i mean to ask for.
Those methods all use an int or a short number and converting.
What I really want to ask for is:

unsigned char byte = 0b00000100;
do some shifts like byte << 1
then find out the machine's byteorder

Is there some difference of the storge between BE and LE machine inside a byte?


Thank you.
