Detailed Description

Reads RIFF file format.

The Riff format is an universal binary format used mainly by Microsoft. The WAV, AVI and BMP formats are based on the RIFF format. Each file has a header consisted form 4 bytes 'RIFF' header and data length (4 bytes unsigned int). The format uses chunks to store data. Each chunk have a header consised from 4 bytes chunk ID (chars) and 4 bytes chunk length (unsigned int). There is a special chunk 'LIST' which can contain subchunks. The LIST chunk has an additonal 4 bytes list name. In additional if the chunk data does not have even length, there is an additional padding byte behind the chunk
