AIX endian again

Hi all I know AIX is big-endian machine.But does it read bytes in normal way from LSB. Does it happen in some machine that at multi-byte integer level it is Little-endian and while reading a single byte it is Big-Endian. This is urgent Thanks in advance.

question about the little-endian in sparc

hi folks, in the sparc v9 manul , it says it is possible to access the memory data in little-endian mode, but there is only privilaged instruction that could set the PSTATE ( the cle bit ) regist. if I'm in the user mode , is it possible for me to access the data in little-endian mode?

NAME

       sbig5 - A character encoding system (codeset) for Traditional Chinese

DESCRIPTION

       The  Shift  Big-5  (sbig5)  codeset is a variant of the Big-5 codeset (see big5(5)). The only difference between these codesets is that the
       second byte of some Big-5 characters are mapped to different values in the Shift Big-5 codeset. The remapping is done to avoid having  some
       metacharacters like *, which has special meaning to UNIX commands, in the second byte of a 2-byte Big-5 character.

       The mappings of Big-5 characters to Shift Big-5 characters are as follows:

       ------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Big-5	 (2nd	Character Symbol   Shift Big-5 (2nd   Character Symbol
       byte)				   byte)
       ------------------------------------------------------------------------
       40		@		   30		      0
       5B		[		   31		      1
       5C				   32		      2
       5D		]		   33		      3
       5E		^		   34		      4
       5F		-		   35		      5
       60		`		   36		      6
       7B		{		   37		      7
       7C		|		   38		      8
       7D		}		   39		      9
       7E		~		   9F		      nil
       ------------------------------------------------------------------------

       The sbig5 codeset is not supported by a locale but only through codeset conversion.

   Codeset Conversion
       The following codeset converter pairs are available for converting Traditional Chinese characters between sbig5 and other encoding formats.
       Refer to iconv_intro(5) for an introduction to codeset conversion. For more information about the other codeset	for  which  sbig5  is  the
       input or output, see the reference page specified in the list item.  big5_sbig5, sbig5_big5

	      Converting from and to the Big-5 codeset: big5(5).

	      Note that Big-5 encoding is equivalent to the Microsoft code-page format used on PCs for Traditional Chinese. Therefore, you can use
	      these converters to convert Traditional Chinese between PC code-page format and Shift Big-5 encoding.  eucTW_sbig5, sbig5_eucTW

	      Converting from and to Taiwanese Extended UNIX Code: eucTW(5).
