endianness as understood by me is the way of order of data being getting wriiten into memory either higher order byte first or lower order byte first. this is related to processor architecture, for eg. intel processors are litte endian. I came to know of fact that hpux operates in big endian whereas linux is little endian. OS or software doesn't have literal access to blocks of memory, I am confused as why OS would have anything to do with endianness(does any other reason exist except for data transfer on network via packets where this definition is required that higher order byte first or otherwise) kindly advise. am I missing/misinterpreting something..??

endianness dependent to processor architecture or base software on architecture?
