What do you mean by swapping larger chunks? Just reversing the overall
order of the bytes? Reversing 4-byte units within that larger chunk?
Reversing 2-byte units? a mix of the two?
Any endian swapping, by definition, needs to know the layout of the
data to be swapped. (honestly, iterating is probably your only
solution).
