• kwargs (Hash{Symbol => Object}) —

  Additional keyword arguments for Ronin::Support::Binary::Template#initialize.

Options Hash (**kwargs):

• :endian (:little, :big, :net, nil) —

  The desired endianness to pack the data for.

• :arch (:x86, :x86_64, :ppc, :ppc64, :arm, :arm_be, :arm64, :arm64_be, :mips, :mips_le, :mips64, :mips64_le, nil)
