Native byte order is big-endian or little-endian, depending on the host
system. For example, Intel x86 and AMD64 (x86-64) are little-endian;
Motorola 68000 and PowerPC G5 are big-endian; ARM and Intel Itanium feature
switchable endianness (bi-endian). Use ``sys.byteorder`` to check the
endianness of your system.
IBM z and most legacy architectures are big-endian;
and ARM, RISC-V and IBM Power feature switchable endianness
(bi-endian, though the former two are nearly always little-endian in practice).
Use ``sys.byteorder`` to check the endianness of your system.
Native size and alignment are determined using the C compiler's
``sizeof`` expression. This is always combined with native byte order.
