<short>External file resource reader</short>
<descr>
<p>This class provides a reader for .fpcres files: they are standalone files containing resources.</p>
<p>Standalone files are files that don't get linked with the final executable. They are used as a
fallback solution on all those platforms for which an internal resource format is not available.</p>
<p>At runtime the resource file is read by Free Pascal RTL to provide resource support to the application.</p>
<p>After an external file has been read, <link id="TExternalResourceReader.Endianess">Endianess</link> property holds the byte order used in the file.</p>

<descr>
<p>This property holds the byte order (endianess) of the file that has been read.</p>
