   Parameters:
       input=string [required]
           Name of input raster map

       output=string
           Name for output binary map (use output=- for stdout)

       null=float
           Value to write out for null
           Default: 0

       bytes=integer
           Number of bytes per cell
           Options: 1, 2, 4, 8

       order=string
           Output byte order
           Options: big, little, native, swap
           Default: native

DESCRIPTION
       The  r.out.bin  program  exports  a  GRASS raster map to a binary array
       file. Optionally, output can be sent to standard  output  (stdout)  for
       direct input (pipe) into other applications. Data is exported according
       to the original GRASS raster type (e.g. float). If  the  "-i"  flag  is
       specified,  an  integer  array  is  output.  The  region parameters are
       printed to stderr.

NOTES
       With the -h flag, data can be directly used by GMT  as  Grid  Format  1
       (float) or 2 (short). For example:
       r.out.bin -h input=grass.raster output=new.grd
       grdinfo new.grd=1 (if float)

       Exported data can be piped directly into the GMT program xyz2grd.
       r.out.bin input=grass.raster output=- | xyz2grd -R....  -ZTLf -
       The example uses the GMT program xyz2grd with the -ZTLf flag indicating
       that a float array was output.
