The Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF), is a wrapper or container format, originally developed by Microsoft and IBM. Formats based on the RIFF container include the widely used WAV (audio) and AVI (video) formats.
It is similar to IFF. One difference is that RIFF uses little-endian byte order.

Identification
RIFF files begin with the ASCII characters "RIFF".
RIFF type cross-reference
Selected "RIFF types", and related articles, are listed below. The RIFF type (also called "form type" or "RIFF form") is a four-byte identifier that usually appears at file offset 8. See also Category:RIFF based file formats.
