farbfeld

farbfeld is a lossless image format which is easy to parse, pipe and
compress.
It has the following format:

| Bytes | Description |
|--------|------------------------------------------------------------|
| 8 | "farbfeld" magic value |
| 4 | 32-Bit BE unsigned integer (width) |
| 4 | 32-Bit BE unsigned integer (height) |
| [2222] | 4⋅16-Bit BE unsigned integers [RGBA] / pixel, row-aligned |

network byte order

And? Why does that somehow make it better?

It doesn't. It's pure cargo-cult dogma, not justifiable by any other means.

BE:
Bit n has weight 2^x-n. Byte n has weight 256^x-n. You have to know how long the value is, x, because all the values shift depending on the length!

LE:
Bit n has weight 2ⁿ. Byte n has weight 256ⁿ. Simple and logical.

would still have to use the endianness-conversion-functions for the BE systems it may run on.

Who cares about BE systems anyway? The only ones that are of any importance are network equipment, and that's just because of the stupid choice made 20 years ago...

Ironically, Ethernet is LE bit order but BE byte order.
