NUXI problem

( /nuk´see pro´bl@m/, n.)

   Refers  to  the  problem  of  transferring data between machines with
   differing  byte-order.  The string "UNIX" might look like "NUXI" on a
   machine  with a different byte sex (e.g., when transferring data from
   a  {little-endian}  to  a  {big-endian},  or  vice-versa).  See  also
   {middle-endian}, {swab}, and {bytesexual}.
