some cases @samp{-R} will be useful to remove sections which contain
information that is not needed by the binary file.
+Note - @code{objcopy} is not able to change the endianness of its input
+files. If the input format has an endianness, (some formats do not),
+@code{objcopy} can only copy the inputs into file formats that have the
+same endianness or which have no endianness (eg @samp{srec}).
