I am currently writing a function that tests endianness and sizeof() fundamental types in C++ in order to dectect if the system/compiler is "classic" or non-standard. I search a name for this function, like checkSystemSOMETHING() but I don't know the word associated to things like binary representation of types or endianness. What would be the best word to replace SOMETHING ?

Binary describes a numbering scheme in which there are only two possible values for each digit -- 0 or 1 -- and is the basis for all binary code used in computing systems. These systems use this code to understand operational instructions and user input and to present a relevant output to the user.
Binary is a base-2 number system that uses two states 0 and 1 to represent a number. We can also call it to be a true state and a false state. A binary number is built the same way as we build the normal decimal number. For example, a decimal number 45 can be represented as 4*10^1+5*10^0 = 40+5.
The ASCII code takes each character on the keyboard and assigns it a binary number. For example: the letter 'a' has the binary number 0110 0001 (this is the denary number 97) the letter 'b' has the binary number 0110 0010 (this is the denary number 98)
It is "data model". Relevant again after the long stability of 32-bit computing, different choices were made in 64-bit architectures. Windows is LLP64, Linux is LP64. Reference is here.
