| :NUXI problem: /nuksee probl*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. | |
