Endianness of freeBSD

[Wouter Oosterveld]

Endianness depends on the hardware.

In internal kernel structures endianness does not matter, if
communicating with other machines protocols (usually) define a
bitorder.

The c-library and/or systemlibrary contains utility functions for conversion.

Wouter Oosterveld
