Figure 1: The CVS data format. Magic equals 0xABCDEF88, and CVSRevision equals 2. Definitions on the left side are developed on the right side. Data elements with labels that end with a colon are defined later. Numbers preceded by a plus sign above the data elements show the byte offset of each data element from the start of the definition. Numbers below data elements show the length in bytes of the data element (4 means a 32-bit integer and 8 means a 64-bit floating-point number).
