Ugh, okay :)

On BE:

Input:         [0x01, 0x82]
Bit length:    15
Bytes to copy:  2
bit_offset:     0
upper_bits:     7

print_num.u64_num = 0;
# [0, 0, 0, 0,   0, 0, 0, 0]

memcpy(&print_num.u64_num, data, bytes_to_copy);  
# [0x01, 0x82, 0, 0,   0, 0, 0, 0]

mask = (1 << upper_bits) - 1;
# mask = 0x7f

print_num.u8_nums[bytes_to_copy - 1] &= mask;
# [0x01, 0x02, 0, 0,   0, 0, 0, 0]

printf("0x%llx", print_num.u64_num);
# 0x0102000000000000 AKA 72620543991349248
# expected:
# 0x0102             AKA 258

Am I missing something?

Ah, I think I missed that %c is in quotes...

This seems to be missing a "0x" prefix?

Yeah, IDK, char can be used as a byte as well as a string.  In eBPF
it may actually be more likely to just be used as a raw byte buffer...
Either way I think it may be nice to keep it consistent, at least for
the JSON output could we do either always ints or always characters?
