<h4><a name="tag_03_749_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>swab</i>() function shall copy <i>nbytes</i> bytes, which are pointed to by <i>src</i>, to the object pointed to by
<i>dest</i>, exchanging adjacent bytes. The <i>nbytes</i> argument should be even. If <i>nbytes</i> is odd, <i>swab</i>() copies
and exchanges <i>nbytes</i>-1 bytes and the disposition of the last byte is unspecified. If copying takes place between objects
that overlap, the behavior is undefined. If <i>nbytes</i> is negative, <i>swab</i>() does nothing.</p>
