Endianless

Note that the byte is endianless; that is, whether it is big-endian or little-endian, the MSB (most significant bit) is bit #7 and the LSB (least significant bit) is bit #0.

Shift the original value right by one! Note "M" and "L" denote most and least significant bits in big or little endian and 8 bit is endianless.

Functions to read and write IFF / RIFF files. They are endianless and support 64 bit chunks.
