  variables from the native format of the device output (MSB-first or
  LSB-first) into a standard form for <function>gpsd</function>
  use. This makes data parsing consistent regardless of the underlying
  format. If the device driver file makes no deliberate selection, the
  default is to assume the device emits data in big-endian (network
  byte) order.</para></entry>
