+@item --reverse-bytes=@var{num}
+Reverse the bytes in a section with output contents. A section length must
+be evenly divisible by the value given in order for the swap to be able to
+take place. Reversing takes place before the interleaving is performed.
+
+This option is used typically in generating ROM images for problematic
+target systems. For example, on some target boards, the 32-bit words
+fetched from 8-bit ROMs are re-assembled in little-endian byte order
+regardless of the CPU byte order. Depending on the programming model, the
+endianness of the ROM may need to be modified.
+
+Consider a simple file with a section containing the following eight
+bytes: @code{12345678}.
+
+Using @samp{--reverse-bytes=2} for the above example, the bytes in the
+output file would be ordered @code{21436587}.
+
+Using @samp{--reverse-bytes=4} for the above example, the bytes in the
+output file would be ordered @code{43218765}.
+
+By using @samp{--reverse-bytes=2} for the above example, followed by
+@samp{--reverse-bytes=4} on the output file, the bytes in the second
+output file would be ordered @code{34127856}.
