As far as I know, one would need to make an endian sniffer which would
either read a header in the file or decide on its own how to
read/convert the file.
No just add 'intelToHost_XX()' or 'HostToIntel' functions for reading
data, or writing data.
Then a host sensitive reader would have these defined appropriately for
the endianness of
the host.
This is done all the time throughout the networking code.
Perhaps to make it more efficient, 'Intel_Array_To_Host', or
'Host_Array_To_Intel' would
allow for converting chunks of data from the file format to the host format.
Obviously if the files are never going to be seen outside the particular
host, it doesn't matter.
The alternative would be to format data al la a 'IFF' chunk... if there
is a float or double
format for such...
