%p4cc is designed for DRM/V4L2 FourCCs with their specific quirks, but it's useful to be able to print generic 4-character codes formatted as an integer. Extend it to add format specifiers for printing generic 32-bit FourCCs with various endian semantics: %p4ch Host byte order %p4cn Network byte order %p4cl Little-endian %p4cb Big-endian The endianness determines how bytes are interpreted as a u32, and the FourCC is then always printed MSByte-first (this is the opposite of V4L/DRM FourCCs). This covers most practical cases, e.g. %p4cn would allow printing LSByte-first FourCCs stored in host endian order (other than the hex form being in character order, not the integer value).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
