    and "Big Endian" (\c b_endian ).

    "Little Endian" means that the low-order byte of the number is stored
    at the lowest address (i.e. the little end comes first). "Big Endian"
    means that the high-order byte of the number is stored in memory at
    the lowest address (i.e. the big end comes first)
