# Description
Bug fix: `PipelineData::check_external_failed()` was not preserving the
original `type_` and `known_size` attributes of the stream passed in for
streams that come from children, so `external-command | into binary` did
not work properly and always ended up still being unknown type.
# User-Facing Changes
The following test case now works as expected:
```nushell
> head -c 2 /dev/urandom | into binary
# Expected: pretty hex dump of binary
# Previous behavior: just raw binary in the terminal
```
# Tests + Formatting
Added a test to cover this to `into binary`
- fixed#9156
# Description
I'm trying to fix the problems mentioned in the issue. It's my first
attempt in Rust. Please let me know if there are any problems.
# User-Facing Changes
- The `--little-endian` option dropped, replaced with `--endian`.
- Add the `--compact` option to the `into binary` command.
- `into int` accepts binary input
