default byte order? #68

Closed tmm1 closed 4 years ago

tmm1 commented 4 years ago

what is the default byte order used if none is specified in the field tag? is there a way to inherit the default byte order of the system?

The default is big endian:

I'm using this library to marshal packed C-structs which CGO doesn't support, so I need the endianess to match the host.
