source: /astropy/io/fits/hdu/table.py :1496

Signature

def _binary_table_byte_swap ( data )

Summary

Ensures that all the data of a binary FITS table (represented as a FITS_rec object) is in a big-endian byte order. Columns are swapped in-place one at a time, and then returned to their previous byte order when this context manager exits.

Extended Summary

Because a new dtype is needed to represent the byte-swapped columns, the new dtype is temporarily applied as well.
