Remarks
Intel systems use little-endian byte order, other systems, such as Unix, use big-endian byte ordering.
Little-endian ordering means bits are ordered such that the bit whose in-memory representation is right-most is the most-significant-bit in a byte.
Big-endian ordering means bits are ordered such that the bit whose in-memory representation is left-most is the most-significant-bit in a byte.
