Type Alias NumericType

indicates the name of a numeric type with required endian information, or the use of a variable-sized integer.

the collection of possible valid numeric types is:

• "u1", "i1", "u2l", "u2b", "i2l", "i2b", "u4l", "u4b", "u8l", "u8b", "i4l", "i4b", "i8l", "i8b", "f4l", "f4b", "f8l", "f8b", "u1c",

the first character specifies the format:

• u = unsigned integer
• i = signed integer
• f = float IEEE-754

the second character specifies the byte-size:

• 1 = one byte
• 2 = two bytes (short)
• 4 = four bytes (word)
• 8 = eight bytes (long)

the third character specifies the endianness. but in the case of unsigned one byte integers, the c character specifies if the value is clamped to 255:

• l = little endian
• b = big endian
• c = clamped (only valid for "u1c" type)

for variable byte sized numbers, use VarNumericType.
