RE: od


David - 

I agree with you that the little-endian representation can be somewhat
confusing; however, as Mark pointed out, it's not likely to ever
change...

I've had my own "struggles" with od's idea of output formats, and have
come up with a few options along the way. Here's some that will help, if
you're looking to get hex characters output in the order you're
expecting:

$ od -toC -tc -tx1 filename
  110 124 124 120 012
    H   T   T   P  \n
  48 54 54 50 0a

$ od -tcx1 -w24 filename | sed '/^[0-9]/s/ \( .\)/\1/g';
   H  T  T  P \n
  48 54 54 50 0a

$ od -txlz filename
  48 54 54 50 0a                                   >HTTP.<
