<p class="module-desc"><p>This module contains helpers that deal with different byte orders (<span id="endian_1">endian</span>).</p>
<p>Endianness is the order of bytes of a value in memory. Big-endian means that the most significant byte is stored at the smallest memory address, while little endian means that the least-significant byte is stored at the smallest address. See also <a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness</a>.</p>
