byteswapped
A byte-swapped value refers to a sequence of bytes that has had the order of its constituent bytes reversed. This operation is typically performed when dealing with data that has been written or read using a different byte order than the system currently in use. There are two primary byte orders: big-endian and little-endian.
In a big-endian system, the most significant byte of a multi-byte data type is stored at the
Byte swapping is a common operation in computer programming, particularly in network programming where data is
