Today I am experimenting with my big endian (PowerPC) machine
tstaerk@little:~> cat >test hellö world tstaerk@little:~> cat test hellö world tstaerk@little:~> hexdump test 0000000 6568 6c6c b6c3 7720 726f 646c 000a 000000d
OK, we have a file that contains the string "hellö world". We read the first byte and it is a "h":
tstaerk@little:~> dd if=test bs=1 count=1 | hexdump 0000000 0068 0000001 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1 byte (1 B) copied, 0.00075077 s, 1.3 kB/s
We read the second byte and it is an "e":
tstaerk@little:~> dd if=test bs=1 count=1 skip=1 | hexdump 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1 byte (1 B) copied, 4.436e-05 s, 22.5 kB/s 0000000 0065 0000001
