6.1.15 CONVERT specifier
GNU Fortran allows the conversion of unformatted data between little- and big-endian representation to facilitate moving of data between different systems. The conversion can be indicated with the CONVERT

statement. See GFORTRAN_CONVERT_UNIT, for an alternative way of specifying the data format via an environment variable.
Valid values for CONVERT
are:
-
CONVERT='NATIVE'
Use the native format. This is the default. -
CONVERT='SWAP'
Swap between little- and big-endian. -
CONVERT='LITTLE_ENDIAN'
Use the little-endian representation for unformatted files. -
CONVERT='BIG_ENDIAN'
Use the big-endian rep
