Class LittleEndianRandomAccessFile

java.lang.Object

com.twelvemonkeys.io.LittleEndianRandomAccessFile

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.DataInput, java.io.DataOutput

public class LittleEndianRandomAccessFile
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.DataInput, java.io.DataOutput

A replacement for RandomAccessFile that is capable of reading and writing data in little endian byte order.

Warning: The DataInput and DataOutput interfaces specifies big endian byte order in their documentation. This means that this class is, strictly speaking, not a proper implementation. However, I don't see a reason for the these interfaces to specify the byte order of their underlying representations.
