 A better way to explore things is by bypassing the endianness with
$ ... | od -t x1z

As soon as there is more than 8 bits bunched together,
 you'll find the end(ian) <grin?>.


Another way might be something like this:

$ type -a od
od is a function
od ()
{
    odargs="$@";
    if [ -z "$odargs" ] || [ -f "$odargs" ]; then
        odargs="-A x -w24 -t x1z $odargs";
    fi;
    command od $odargs;
    unset odargs
}
od is /usr/bin/od
od is /bin/od


 ( -w24 above <=> $(echo $COLUMNS) = 112
