35 convention is still well defined for any native byte size; Vorbis uses
37 that a byte is one octet for purposes of example.
41 A byte has a well-defined 'least significant' bit (LSb), which is the
42 only bit set when the byte is storing the two's complement integer
43 value +1. A byte's 'most significant' bit (MSb) is at the opposite
44 end of the byte. Bits in a byte are numbered from zero at the LSb to
50 \subsubsection{byte order}
52 Words are native groupings of multiple bytes. Several byte orderings
54 'most significant byte first' in which the highest-valued byte comes
55 first), 0-1-2-3 ('little endian' or 'least significant byte first' in
56 which the lowest value byte comes first) and less commonly 3-1-2-0 and
60 manipulation at the byte, not word, level, thus host word ordering is
62 code that operates on a word of storage at a time rather than by byte.
63 Logically, bytes are always coded and decoded in order from byte zero
64 through byte $n$.
