The printf and od utilities are portable. You can use printf to print a
character string, and use od to group that character string into
multibyte integers in the native byte order.
Example:
X=$(printf '\336\255\276\357' | od -A n -t x4)
This sets X to " efbeadde" on little endian, and " deadbeef" on big endian.
