+Generic FourCC code
+-------------------
+
+::
+	%p4c[hrbl]	gP00 (0x67503030)
+
+Print a generic FourCC code, as both ASCII characters and its numerical
+value as hexadecimal.
+
+The additional ``h``, ``r``, ``b``, and ``l`` specifiers are used to specify
+host, reversed, big or little endian order data respectively. Host endian
+order means the data is interpreted as a 32-bit integer and the most
+significant byte is printed first; that is, the character code as printed
+matches the byte order stored in memory on big-endian systems, and is reversed
+on little-endian systems.
+
+Passed by reference.
+
+Examples for a little-endian machine, given &(u32)0x67503030::
+
+	%p4ch	gP00 (0x67503030)
+	%p4cr	00Pg (0x30305067)
+	%p4cb	00Pg (0x30305067)
