! sSlLiI Forces native (short, long, int) sizes instead of fixed (16-/32-bit) sizes. xX Make x and X act as alignment commands. nNvV Treat integers as signed instead of unsigned. @. Specify position as byte offset in the internal representation of the packed string. Efficient but dangerous. > sSiIlLqQ Force big-endian byte-order on the type. jJfFdDpP (The "big end" touches the construct.) < sSiIlLqQ Force little-endian byte-order on the type. jJfFdDpP (The "little end" touches the construct.)
