NUXI problem

The NUXI problem is the problem of transferring data between computers with differing byte order. For example, the string "UNIX" might look like "NUXI" on a machine with a different "byte sex". The problem is caused by the difference in endian, for instance. e.g. when transferring data from a little-endian to a big-endian, or vice-versa.
