Description
There are binary ntv2 grid files in little-endian and in big-endian. Currently, proj.4 assumes all files are little-endian and fails otherwise.
The code to switch the endianness of the binary data is already there. But the trigger, when to switch, can be improved to match that of the nvt2 data.
The type of the ntv2 file can be detected from the first 16 bytes:
$ xxd -l 16 ntf_r93.gsb # little endian
0000000: 4e55 4d5f 4f52 4543 0b00 0000 0000 0000 NUM_OREC........
$ xxd -l 16 ntf_r93_b.gsb # big endian
0000000: 4e55 4d5f 4f52 4543 0000 000b 0000 0000 NUM_OREC........
The number of overview header records is always 11, which is also hardcoded in pj_gridinfo_init_ntv2
. Therefore one can check if byte 9 to 12 equals the integer 11 encoded in LE or BE.
