The man-pages in Red Hat Linux 6.2 say:

<quote>
SWAB(3)             Linux Programmer's Manual             SWAB(3)


NAME
       swab - swap adjacent bytes

SYNOPSIS
       #include <string.h>

       void swab(const void *from, void *to, size_t n);
</quote>

That was the reason why I added the prototype to string.h.  Sorry for
not having checked it as thoroughly as you did :-)
