Description-en: swap endianness of a cram filesystem (cramfs)
cramfs is a highly compressed and size optimized Linux filesystem which is
mainly used for embedded applications. The problem with cramfs is that it
is endianness sensitive, meaning you can't mount a cramfs for a big endian
target on a little endian machine and vice versa. This is often especially
a problem in the development phase.
.
cramfsswap solves that problem by allowing you to swap to endianness of a
cramfs filesystem.
