DOC - (Pilot standard text document) file format
struct doc_record0 { /* 16 bytes total */
Word version; /* 1 = plain text, 2 = compressed text */

Word rec_size; /* in bytes: usually 4096 (4K) */

};
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.
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.
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''
