I neglected to mention I'm using a version pulled from git yesterday, i.e. $ od --version od (GNU coreutils) 9.4.114-6ec1f
on a SLES 15 SP1 GNU/Linux system, x86_64 hardware, kernel version 4.12.14 . From: Rozenberg, Eyal (Consultant) Sent: Thursday, 1 February 2024 14:44 To: bug-coreutils@gnu.org Subject: Can't use od to print half-precision floats If I try to use the od utility to print half-precision (FP16) floating-point values, I get: $ od -t f2 myfloats.bin od: invalid type string 'f2'; this system doesn't provide a 2-byte floating point type I'm not exactly sure what "this system" means, but that should work and print out my floats. Eyal PS - This is my first bug-coreutils post, please be gentle.
