;Name            swab -  swaps bytes
;
;Usage           void swab(char *from, char *to, int nbytes);
;
;Prototype in    stdlib.h
;
;Description     swab copies n bytes from the from string to the to
;                string. Adjacent even- and odd-byte positions are swapped.
;                This is useful for moving data from one machine to another
;                machine with a different byte order. nbytes should be even.
;
;Return value    There is no return value.
