[gdal-dev] Get Image Endianness

[Alejandro Mostovoi]

Thanks, the read of the image is resolved.
But my app shows information about an open image, one data of that
information is (or will be) the endianness of the image, I mean, the format
of the image shouldn't be significant.
I need some method o struct that return the endianness of the image.

Thanks again.
Alejandro.
