DOC(4)							     Kernel Interfaces Manual							    DOC(4)

NAME

       DOC - (Pilot standard text document) file format

SYNOPSIS

       struct doc_record0 {	 /* 16 bytes total */
	    Word   version;	 /* 1 = plain text, 2 = compressed text */
	    Word   reserved1;
	    DWord  doc_size;	 /* uncompressed size in bytes */
	    Word   num_recs;	 /* not counting itself */
	    Word   rec_size;	 /* in bytes: usually 4096 (4K) */
	    DWord  reserved2;
       };

DESCRIPTION

       The  Doc  file  format is the standard text document format used by all models of the Palm Pilot.  A Doc file is a pdb(4) file: this manual
       page describes only those aspects specific to Doc files.

       A Doc file consists of 0 to num_recs records; record 0 is the header for the document.  (This header is distinct from the  pdb(4)  header.)
       The remaining records contain text, either plain or compressed depending upon version.

   Word Sizes
       In  the	synopsis  above,  the  types ``Word'' and ``DWord'' are used just as in the Pilot headers.  The type ``Word'' is 16 bits; the type
       ``DWord'' is 32 bits.  Both are in big-endian format.

   Compression Format
       A character ``c'' in a compressed record is in one of four classes:

       01-08	 Copy ``c'' bytes

       00,09-7F  Self

       80-BF	 Sequence

       C0-FF	 A space plus the ASCII character ``c ^ 0x80''
