| | Endianness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In general, the NUXI problem is the problem of transferring data between computers with differing byte order. | | | Endianness is also referred to as byte order or byte sex. | | | The Internet Protocol defines a standard "big-endian" network byte order, where binary values are in general encoded into packets, and sent out over the network, most significant byte first. |

| | Byte Order |
| | Processors can number the bytes within a word to make the byte with the lowest number either the leftmost or rightmost one. | | | The convention used by a machine is its byte order. | | | SPIM's byte order is determined by the byte order of the underlying hardware running the simulator. |

| | Encyclopedia4U - Byte Order Mark - Encyclopedia Article |
| | UTF-8 text can also use a BOM, although this is rare, since UTF-8 prescribes a fixed byte order, and since UTF-8 is often assumed or implicit, so it doesn't need a signature. | | | In UTF-16, a BOM is expressed as the 8-bit byte sequence FE FF at the beginning of the encoded string, to indicate that the encoded characters that follow it use big-endian byte order; or it is expressed as the byte sequence FF FE to indicate little-endian order. | | | The UTF-8 representation of the BOM is the byte sequence EF BB BF. |

| | Byte Order |
| | Little-endian byte order became established early, I understand, because it is easer to implement in hardware; that makes little difference with today's manufacturing technology but is so prevalent because it was used in both Vaxen and the 8086 processors of the first IBM PC's. | | | Also note that the internet protocol standards are written in terms of "octets" of data rather than "bytes" because a byte is not always eight bits. | | | One is to decide on a certain byte order for all external data and to require swapping of all values written and read on a machine with a different order. |

| | UTR#17: Character Encoding Model |
| | Some compressing CESs are designed to produce a unique sequence of bytes for each sequence of code units, so that the compressed byte sequences can be compared for equality or ordered by binary comparison. | | | At the head of a data stream, the presence of a byte order mark can therefore be used to unambiguously signal the byte order of the code units. | | | This difference does not matter for operations on code units in memory, but the byte order becomes important when code units are serialized to sequences of bytes using a particular CES. |

| | FAQ - UTF and BOM |
| | A: Data types longer than a byte can be stored in computer memory with the most significant byte (MSB) first or last. | | | The BE form uses big-endian byte serialization (most significant byte first), the LE form uses little-endian byte serialization (least significant byte first) and the unmarked form uses big-endian byte serialization by default, but may include a byte order mark at the beginning to indicate the actual byte serialization used. | | | A: A byte order mark (BOM) consists of the character code U+FEFF at the beginning of a data stream, where it can be used as a signature defining the byte order and encoding form, primarily of unmarked plaintext files. |

| | Big endian and Little endian computers |
| | Suppose the address of the int is A. In a so-called big endian computer, the highest order byte is stored at A, and the lowest order byte is stored at address A+3. | | | In a so-called little endian computer, address A stores the least significant byte and the most significant byte is at address A+3. | | | This means that when little endian computers are going to pass integers over the network (IP addresses for example), they need to convert them to network byte order. |

| | Byte-order Mark |
| | The preferred place to specify byte order is in a file header, but text files do not have headers. | | | With only a single set of byte-ordering rules, users of one type of microprocessor would be forced to swap the byte order every time a plain text file is read from or written to, even if the file is never transferred to another system based on a different microprocessor. | | | A byte-order mark is not a control character that selects the byte order of the text; it simply informs an application receiving the file that the file is byte ordered. |

| | Dr. Bill's Notes on "Little Endian" vs. "Big Endian" |
| | Depending on which computing system you use, you will have to consider the byte order in which multibyte numbers are stored, particularly when you are writing those numbers to a file. | | | The numbers are also stored in the order in which they are printed out, so binary to decimal routines are particularly efficient. | | | In "Big Endian" form, by having the high-order byte come first, you can always test whether the number is positive or negative by looking at the byte at offset zero. |

| | Introduction to Endianness - big endian, little endian, byte order, byte swap |
| | Even if the computers at each end are little endian, multibyte integers passed between them must be converted to network byte order prior to transmission across the network, and converted back to little endian at the receiving end. | | | Big endian means that the most significant byte of any multibyte data field is stored at the lowest memory address, which is also the address of the larger field. | | | Introduction to Endianness - big endian, little endian, byte order, byte swap |

| | Byte-Order, FITS Standard and MAGIC Pixels in Imcat |
| | I have provided a command changesex which swaps the byte order. | | | FITS images writen by imcat tools contain a header item with key BYTEORDR and with value BIG_ENDIAN or LITTLE_ENDIAN to indicate the byte order. | | | So, for example, you might define this on your DEC-ALPHA but not on your Sun workstation, in which case all FITS files (and FITS data piped between processes) will conform to the NOST decree and you can access the data using binaries on either machine without confusion. |

| | Manipulating byte order |
| | The byte swapping routines are provided because the operating system expects addresses to be supplied in network order. | | | Consequently, programs are sometimes required to byte swap quantities. | | | The library routines that return network addresses provide them in network order so that they may simply be copied into the structures provided to the system. |
