.Sh USAGE
.Pp
With no arguments, rax reads values from stdin. You can pass one or more values as arguments, and swap endiannes of the output with the '-e' flag.
.Pp
TODO: Using '-' as argument rax will read binary data from stdin and print out the hex pairs to stdout.
.Pp
  $ rax2 -33 -e -33
  0xffffffdf
  0xdfffffff
.Pp
TODO: The '-s' flag converts radare into a hexpair-to-binary converter, so you can do 'unpack' hexpair encoded strings easily.
.Pp
  $ rax2 -s 41 42 43
  ABC
.Pp
It is very useful tool for scripting, so you can read floating point values, or get the integer offset of a jump or a stack delta when analyzing programs.
.Pp
Available variable types are:
.Pp
  integer          10
