Line 1,800:
6> (num-carray *3)
2097151</pre>
Conversion to a <code>carray</code> not based on the default <code>uchar</code>:
<pre>1> (carray-num #x123456789 (ffi uint32))
#<carray 2 #<ffi-type uint32>>
2> (carray-get *1)
#(16777216 2305246499)</pre>
This number requires two 32-bit units to store. Because <code>uint32</code> is in the native endian, opposite to the big endian storage of the integer, the words come out byte swapped. The <code>be-uint32</code> type could be used to change this.
