This package transparently supplies the GHC.ByteOrder API as provided in base-4.11.0.0 for legacy GHC releases which didn't provide it yet (i.e. GHC 7.0 through GHC 8.2).

This release reexports GHC.ByteOrder from base via Cabal's reexported-modules mechanism. For GHC 8.2 and earlier a different release of ghc-byteorder (with the same minor version) is eligible by the Cabal solver with a backported GHC.ByteOrder module.

In order to use this compatibility layer, simply declare a dependency on ghc-byteorder in your .cabal package description like so

build-depends: ghc-byteorder ^>= 4.11.0.0

And your code will be able to access this respective API version of the module via the usual

import GHC.ByteOrder

mechanism.
