hex. It is also possible to specify constants in octal, binary,

> There are other commands besides <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>.byte</TT
>
and <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>.word</TT
> to specify data. In particular,
the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>.dword</TT
> command specifies four-byte values
which some applications will find useful. Also, some linking
formats (such as the <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>SID</TT
> format) have
header data in big-endian (high byte first) format.
The <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>.wordbe</TT
> and <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>.dwordbe</TT
>
directives provide a way to specify multibyte constants in
big-endian formats cleanly.
