How to Convert Linux to Endian
When using the "convert" utility on Linux, you can specify the endianness parameter to change the type of endian in that conversion. The endian is the data ordering method used across the external method. There are two types of endian "most significant" (MSB) and "least significant" (LSB). MSN orders the first byte biggest, with the final byte the smallest, whereas LSB orders the smallest byte first and the largest last. This is useful to know if you want to understand the computer science behind how bytes are stored on your computer during file writes.
