-By default, the native endianness of the source architecture is used.
-Byte order can be overridden for a basic type by specifying a "byte_order"
-attribute. Typical use-case is to specify the network byte order (big endian:
-"be") to save data captured from the network into the trace without conversion.
-If not specified, the byte order is native.
