Wiki Help & Support
This page will help guide you through understanding the data types and symbols that are used in the wiki pages. If you have any issues reading a certain part, please feel free to look around this page to find out what it may mean.
Data Types
Unsigned values are ones that do not contain negative values, meaning that they have a much larger positive value.
Array data types are simply multiple of that certain data type. For example, a Byte Array consists of many bytes.
If the Data Type is not listed here, then that means it is listed somewhere on the specified page.
Following the above, if the Data Type is a enum(Name/Value only), then the length will be how many bytes to read for it, however, if it is a structure(Name/DataType/Position/Length), then the length will be equivalent to however many of that structure there is in the file.
| Data Type | Minimum | Maximum | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| String | ? | ? | A collection of char(acter)s; also simplified to simply text. |
| Unicode String | ? | … | A collection of shorts. Each short represents a char(acter), simply with a byte before it. If the length is never defined, it ends when the last short is null. For example, 006500780061006D0070006C00650000(example) ends with a null value. |
| Bit | 0 | 0x1 (20) | The smallest amount of data possible that only has two possible values. |
| Nibble | 0 | 0xF (24 - 1) | The collection of four bits, or half a byte. |
| Byte (Char) | 0x80 (-27) | 0x7F (27 - 1) | A collection of eight bits, and two nibbles. |
| Unsigned Byte | 0 | 0xFF (28 - 1) | An unsigned byte. |
| Short | 0x8000 (-215) | 0x7FFF (215 - 1) | A signed two byte value that counts in terms of the value 1 as an interval. |
| Unsigned Short | 0 | 0xFFFF (216 - 1) | An unsigned short. |
| Integer | 0x80000000 (-231) | 0x7FFFFFFF (231 - 1) | A signed four byte value that counts in terms of the value 1 as an interval. |
| Unsigned Integer | 0 | 0xFFFFFFFF (232 - 1) | An unsigned integer. |
| Long | 0x8000000000000000 (-263) | 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF (263 - 1) | A signed eight byte value that counts in terms of the value 1 as an interval. |
| Unsigned Long | 0 | 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF (264 - 1) | An unsigned long. |
| SHA-1 | ? | ? | A 160-bit(0x14) generated hash. |
| SHA-2 | ? | ? | A 256-bit(0x20) generated hash. |
Symbols
| Symbol | Description |
|---|---|
| ? | Unknown as to why or what it is. |
| … | The value as to what this refers to may be referenced else where on the page. For example, "struct s0 { int length; int dataType; void *data; };". If dataType is 0, meaning a float, then data is obviously four bytes. Otherwise if it was 1, meaning an array of bytes, then you use the length to read the correct amount. |
| ∞ | The value continues forever or it's length is dynamic and should be found by reading it's data type explanation. |
