endianess for byte data

Dear NCL users,
  I have a question about the endianness of the data in byte type. when read or write a byte type data, and set the format to be little or big endian, does that mean the bit order is in little or big endian? or in NCL, the setting in endianness only applies to order of bytes, instead of bit?

Thanks

Peng Liu
