    - EXE_32BITS: the value for 32 bits executables
    - EXE_64BITS: the value for 64 bits executables
    - EXE_UNIVERSAL: the value for universal binaries executables
    Returns:
    
    the executable architecture
  - getEndianness
```
short getEndianness()
```
    Return the executable endianness. The possible returned values are:
    - ENDIAN_INVALID: the value if the indianess could be be detected
    - ENDIAN_LITTLE_ENDIAN: the value little-endian executable files
    - ENDIAN_BIG_ENDIAN: the value big-endian executable files
    Returns:
    
    the executable endianness
