_array_structure.byte_order

Name:
'_array_structure.byte_order'

Definition:

        The order of bytes for integer values which require more
               than 1 byte.

               (IBM-PC's and compatibles and DEC VAXs use low-byte-first
               ordered integers, whereas Hewlett Packard 700
               series, Sun-4 and Silicon Graphics use high-byte-first
               ordered integers.  DEC Alphas can produce/use either
               depending on a compiler switch.)

Type: ucode

Mandatory item: yes

The data value must be one of the following:

big_endian The first byte in the byte stream of the bytes which make up an integer value is the most significant byte of an integer.

little_endian The last byte in the byte stream of the bytes which make up an integer value is the most significant byte of an integer.
