little-endian

<data, architecture> A computer architecture in which, within a given 16- or 32-bit word, bytes at lower addresses have lower significance (the word is stored "little-end-first"). The PDP-11 and VAX families of computers and Intel microprocessors and a lot of communications and networking hardware are little-endian. The term is sometimes used to describe the ordering of units other than bytes; most often, bits within a byte. Compare big-endian, middle-endian. See NUXI problem. [Jargon File] (1995-08-16)

bytesexual

/bi:t"sek"shu-*l/ Said of hardware, denotes willingness to compute or pass data in either big-endian or little-endian format (depending, presumably, on a mode bit somewhere). See also NUXI problem. [Jargon File]

LEB128

COMPACT REPRESENTATION FOR BIG-INTEGER DATA TYPES

ULEB128; Little Endian Base 128

LEB128 or Little Endian Base 128 is a variable-length code compression used to store arbitrarily large integers in a small number of bytes. LEB128 is used in the DWARF debug file format and the WebAssembly binary encoding for all integer literals.

Endianness

In computing, endianness is the order or sequence of bytes of a word of digital data in computer memory. Endianness is primarily expressed as big-endian (BE) or little-endian (LE). A big-endian system stores the most significant byte of a word at the smallest memory address and the least significant byte at the largest. A little-endian system, in contrast, stores the least-significant byte at the smallest address. Bi-endianness is a feature supported by numerous computer architectures that feature switchable endianness in data fetches and stores or for instruction fetches. Other orderings are generically called middle-endian or mixed-endian.

Endianness may also be used to describe the order in which the bits are transmitted over a communication channel, e.g., big-endian in a communications channel transmits the most significant bits first. Bit-endianness is seldom used in other contexts.

1. Although he called it "unutterably trivial", he also described it as "one of the most extraordinary stories I came upon while researching this book" adding: "So many jaw–dropping stories have emerged of the way in which his household is run that it can sound credible." The Prince of Wales‘s office yesterday declined to offer any further insight into his egg–eating habits, even whether he knocks the big end or the little end off – a subject of such bitter debate over centuries that in Jonathan Swift‘s Gulliver‘s Travels it sparks a savage war between the big–endian Blefuscudians and the little–endian Lilliputians.
