How about this...

template<endian_t From, class T>
T convert_to_host(void* buf);  // Coverts/copies a physical format into a 
big-/little-endian physical format.

and

template<endian_t To, class T>
void convert_from_host(const T& x, void* buf);  // Converts/copies a T into 
a big-/little-endian physical format.

and

template<endian_t From, endian_t To, class T>
void convert_in_place(T& x);  // Convert an object supposedly in 'From' 
endian format to an object in 'To' endian format in place.
