Declaration

TIOByteOrder = (ioBigEndian, ioLittleEndian);

Description

TIFF files use two byte orders:
◼ioLittleEndian: Little-endian used by Intel processors (indicated by "II" as the first two bytes of the file header)
◼ioBigEndian: Big-endian used by Motorola (indicated by "MM" as the first two bytes of the file header)

Due to the widespread use of Intel-based systems, where little-endian is the native format, ioLittleEndian is much more common.
