C compilers on different systems lay out structures differently.
In some cases there can even be layout differences between different
C compilers on the same system. Compilers add gaps between fields,
and these gaps have different sizes and are at different locations.
You can normally assume that there are no gaps between fields of type char
or array of char. However, you can not make any assumptions about
gaps between fields of any larger type. You also can not make any
assumptions about the layout of bitfield types.

cuebreakpoints
cuebreakpoints(1) General Commands Manual cuebreakpoints(1)
NAME
cuebreakpoints - report track breakpoints from a CUE or TOC file
SYNOPSIS
cuebreakpoints [ { -i format | --input-format=format } { --append-gaps | --prepend-gaps | --split-gaps } ] [ file ... ]
cuebreakpoints --help
DESCRIPTION
cuebreakpoints reports the track breakpoints found in CUE and TOC files, which are typically created by compact disc ripping software. The
breakpoints are in a format usable by shnsplit (part of the shntool package).
Three approaches to track pregaps are availabe: append (to previous track), prepend (to succeeding track), and split (from both preceding
and succeeding tracks). The split approach can result in up to twice as many breakpoints being reported as there are tracks on the disc.
The first track's pregap cannot be appended to the previous track, so it is prefixed to the track in both append and prepend modes. If you
want the track without it, use the --split-gaps option.
If no filenames are specified, cuebreakpoints reads from standard input, and an input format option must be specified. If one or more
filenames is provided, but the input format option is not specified, the input format will be guessed based on each file's suffix (e.g.,
.cue or .toc). This heuristic is case-insensitive.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
displays a usage message and exits.
-i format, --input-format=format
sets the expected format of the input file(s) to format, which must be either cue or toc.
--append-gaps
appends pregaps to the end of the previous track. This is the default.
--prepend-gaps
prefixes pregaps to the beginning of each subsequent track.
--split-gaps
separates pregaps from both the preceding and succeeding tracks.
If more than one of --append-gaps, --prepend-gaps, and --split-gaps are specified, all except the last encountered are ignored.
EXIT STATUS
cuebreakpoints exits with status zero if it successfully generates a report for each input file, and nonzero if there were problems.
