Which one is it in a programming context? Is there a difference? I've seen it both ways and I don't want to spell it wrong in my code.

Marshal (one l) is correct in English. However, both Marshalling or Marshaling are correct.
Marshalling (with two lls) "seems to make more sense" in my American-English mind as it softens the "a" explicitly.

marshal is the verb as "to gather" your forces, thoughts, facts, etc. British double the LLs for marshalled, lling.
Marshall is a person's name, 1st or last.
