native

Overview ¶

Package native provides a host-native binary.ByteOrder.

This package can be used to communicate with badly written programs running on the same host which use the native byte order of the architecture it's running on. It uses unsafe and probably doesn't work on architectures, that don't have a constant byte order.

See http://commandcenter.blogspot.fr/2012/04/byte-order-fallacy.html for why you shouldn't use this package unless you deal with badly written programs.
