text: Similarly, in big endian systems, bytes are stored in the reverse order, i.e. most significant byte is stored first and the subsequent bytes are stored in the higher memory addresses.
text: As in big endian system most significant byte will be stored first, 00010001 will be stored at 0x00000001, 00100010 at 0x00000002, 00110011 at 0x00000003 and 01000100 at 0x00000004.
text: As with all the other multi-byte values in the GIF format, the least significant byte is stored first (little-endian format).
text: If the hardware is built so that the lowest, least significant byte of a multi-byte scalar is stored "first", at the lowest memory address, then the hardware is said to be "little-endian"; the "little" end of the integer gets stored first, and the next bytes get stored in higher (increasing) memory locations.
text: If the hardware is built so that the highest, most significant byte of a multi-byte scalar is stored "first", at the lowest memory address, then the hardware is said to be "big-endian"; the "big" end of the integer gets stored first, and the next bytes get stored in higher (increasing) memory locations.
