+?S:chorder_short (d_cos d_bos):
+?S: Holds the value describing the byte ordering of characters in a short.
+?S: On a Big-Endian machine, that would be "c0c1".
+?S:.
+?S:chorder_int (charoder):
+?S: Holds the value describing the byte ordering of characters in an int.
+?S: For instance, on a Big-Endian machine, this would be: "c0c1c2c3".
+?S:.
+?S:chorder_long (d_col d_bol):
+?S: Holds the value describing the byte ordering of characters in a long.
+?S: On a 64 bits Big-Endian machine, that would yield: "c0c1c2c3c4c5c6c7".
+?S:.
+?C:CHAR_ORDER_SHORT:
+?C: Holds the byte ordering of characters in a short. It's a string
+?C: value like "c0c1" on a Big-Endian machine.
+?C:.
+?C:CHAR_ORDER_INT:
+?C: Holds the byte ordering of characters in an int. It's a string
+?C: value like "c0c1c2c3" on a Big-Endian machine.
+?C:.
+?C:CHAR_ORDER_LONG:
+?C: Holds the byte ordering of characters in a long. It's a string
