That's a horrid hack, why not use the %*phN modifier?

Prints as little endian, is that OK?

You tell me! What tool is going to be reading this? What do they
expect it to look like?

sh, php in my usecase as unique id.
So endianess does not matter to me too much. The question is what is usual (like mac address, uuid...?).

And it's a byte array, why would there be endian issues?

Now is printed as one big number. Not real issue. Just human readability? Should I turn back it to space separated bytes?
