When a nvlist(9) is converted into a binary buffer by nvlist_pack(9),
the host endianness is encoded in the nvlist_header of the binary
buffer. The nvlist_unpack(9) function converts a given binary buffer
to an nvlist. In the conversion process the endianness encoded in the
nvlist_header is evaluated and -- should the encoded endianness differ
from the endianess of the decoding host -- endianness conversion is
applied to nvlist_header and nvpair_header elements as well as
to some nvpair values.
