endianness

The library provides that the data is always written big endian.

This standard is also referred to as "little endian."

This address is big endian.

Endian is available as a hardware appliance as well as a free distribution for PCs.

Slater thinks little endian was added to support Microsoft Corp Windows NT, the operating system HP hasn't committed to yet.

In a binary stream of data, a KLV set is broken down in the following fashion, with all integer-interpretation being Big Endian:

The EAS3 file format is used to store floating point data in IEEE format and to exchange the files between different computer architectures (little/big endian).

Also possible, but rarely used, is "big endian" or MSB (Most Significant Bit) first serial communications; this was used, for example, by the IBM 2741 printing terminal.

Comparable to WAV or AIFF in size, RAW Audio file does not include any header information (sampling rate, bit depth, endian, or number of channels).

Most of the above code should be straightforward enough for anyone versed in C. The pointer refers to the data extracted from the header as outlined earlier, it is assumed to have already been converted to the host Endian.

WordPad for Windows XP added full Unicode support, enabling WordPad to support multiple languages, but UTF-16/UCS-2 Big Endian is not supported.

Maybe one of the reasons Microsoft Corp's NT isn't pegged to go on Sparc is because it's little endian and Sparc is big endian: we've heard that it would mean a major rewrite, something Bill Gates hadn't figured on.

It allows the programmer to ignore many details, such as endianness.

Endianness is important as a low-level attribute of a particular data format.

This made it possible to transfer floating-point numbers from one computer to another after endianness conversion.

The format is platform independent, with issues such as endianness being addressed in the software libraries.

Using higher bit depths encounters the problem of having to decide on the endianness of the file.

The order of the memory bytes storing the bits varies; see endianness.

When reading the file, the application converts the endianness, transparently to the user.

The types and represent 32-bit integer types with different endianness.

This improves compatibility and eliminates problems such as endianness.

Cocoa applications can be ported simply by recompiling them and checking for endianness problems.

The order of bytes in a bytestring depends on Endianness.

How many teachers of Gulliver's Travels explain Endianness to their students?

The terms little-endian and endianness have a similar intent.

Endianness thus becomes a property of the motherboard.

Because the Fletcher-16 checksum uses 8-bit blocks, it is not affected by byte endianness.

In Greece the all-numeric form for dates is in the little endianness order of "day month year".

An attempt to read such file on a system of the other endianness then results in a run-time error, because the count fields are incorrect.

System calls are thunked for endianness and for 32/64 bit mismatches.

Endianness refers to how hexadecimal data is ordered in machine language, the simplest, most understandable code that a computer can use.

This allows one to reuse code on a system with the opposite endianness without having to modify the code itself.

"Bit endianness"

Endianness also does not affect sizes for UTF-32.

To help in understanding that access, little and big endianness can be seen in the diagram as differing in their coordinate system's orientation.

To illustrate the notions this section provides example layouts of the 32-bit number in the most common variants of endianness.
