Bit order

The first letter indicates the outer bit ordering, i.e. how bytes are filled:

• B?: from left to right (B is for BigEndian)
• L?: from right to left (L is for LittleEndian)

The second letter indicates the inner bit ordering, i.e. how words are stored:

• ?B: the most significant bit is stored first (in the outer bit order!)
• ?L: the least-significant bit is stored first (in the outer bit order!)

E.g. two successive words of 5 bits: ABCDE, VWXYZ BB: ABCDEVWX YZxxxxxx BL: EDCBAZYX WVxxxxxx LB: XWVEDCBA xxxxxxZY LL: XYZABCDE xxxxxxVW
