/*
* buf is an array of long integers.
* buf is ordered from least significant word to most significant word.
* buf[0] is the least significant word and
* buf[num_longs-1] is the most significant word.
* This means words in buf is little endian.
* However each word in buf is native endian.
* (buf[i]&1) is the least significant bit and
* (buf[i]&(1<<(SIZEOF_LONG*CHAR_BIT-1))) is the most significant bit
* for each 0 <= i < num_longs.
* So buf is little endian at whole on a little endian machine.
* But buf is mixed endian on a big endian machine.
