Hi, it's nice that with the fio library LuaTeX can now process binary files. What I'm missing is the ability to specify the byte order (little vs. big endian).
I didn't find any hint, neither in the manual nor in the sources. Without being able to specify the byte order usage of the library is quite limited. The byte order of a particular file is not necessarily the same as that of your system. Some file formats have a certain byte order (PNM, for instance) and others precede binary data with a byte order mark (TIFF). In any case it's necessary to specify the byte order before reading binary stuff. Is there a chance to provide a switch?
