Specifies that unformatted data should not be converted.

big_endian

Specifies that the format will be big endian for integer data and big endian IEEE floating-point for real and complex data.

cray

Specifies that the format will be big endian for integer data and CRAY* floating-point for real and complex data.

fdx
(Linux, Mac OS X)

Specifies that the format will be little endian for integer data, and VAX processor floating-point format F_floating, D_floating, and X_floating for real and complex data.

fgx
(Linux, Mac OS X)

Specifies that the format will be little endian for integer data, and VAX processor floating-point format F_floating, G_floating, and X_floating for real and complex data.

ibm

Specifies that the format will be big endian for integer data and IBM* System\370 floating-point format for real and complex data.

little_endian

Specifies that the format will be little endian for integer data and little endian IEEE floating-point for real and complex data.

vaxd

Specifies that the format will be little endian for integer data, and VAX* processor floating-point format F_floating, D_floating, and H_floating for real and complex data.

vaxg

Specifies that the format will be little endian for integer data, and VAX processor floating-point format F_floating, G_floating, and H_floating for real and complex data.
