A system administrator needs to prepare for a cross-platform software compilation and must identify the CPU's byte order on a Linux server. Which of the following commands will most directly display this information?
lshw
lsmem
uname -m
lscpu
The correct command is lscpu. The lscpu command gathers CPU architecture information and its output explicitly includes a 'Byte Order' field, which will state either 'Little Endian' or 'Big Endian'. The lsmem command lists available memory ranges and their online status, not CPU details. The uname -m command prints the machine hardware name (e.g., 'x86_64'), which implies a byte order but does not state it explicitly. The lshw command provides detailed hardware information but does not typically display the byte order, making lscpu the more direct and appropriate tool for this specific task.
