LSB-conforming applications shall use the data representation as defined in Chapter 3 of the System V Application Binary Interface PowerPC Processor Supplement.
LSB-conforming applications shall use big-endian byte ordering. LSB-conforming implementations may support little-endian applications.
In addition to the fundamental types specified in Chapter 3 of the System V Application Binary Interface PowerPC Processor Supplement, a 64 bit data type is defined here.
