Byte order for multi-byte raster data types

This keyword provides the type of image pixel storage type (byte ordering), either INTEL (or I) for Intel arrangement, or MOTOROLA (or M) for Motorola arrangement.

Note :

with INTEL order, LSB (Least Significant Byte) comes first and
with MOTOROLA order, MSB (Most Significant Byte/Big Endian) comes first.

INTEL order is also known as Little Endian whreas Motorola order is also know as Big Endian

This keyword is useful for binary file formats that are not self described such as RAW.

See also DATA_FILE_FORMAT.

Example :
 
<Raster_Encoding>
  <NBITS>16</NBITS>
  <BYTEORDER>M</BYTEORDER>
  <DATA_TYPE>SHORT</DATA_TYPE>
  <SKIP_BYTES>512</SKIP_BYTES>
  <BANDS_LAYOUT>BIL</BANDS_LAYOUT>
</Raster_Encoding>

Constraint :

CM if NBITS > 8

Note :CM means Conditional Mandatory, X means Excluded
