This is the file format for mergetag binary files. The unit size is a byte. Most numbers to do with the layout (i.e. not stored data) should be stored as a 32-bit uint.


BOM  ---  a Byte Order Mark should be used to determin endianness (MT01 (or other version) in bytes, but converted to two ushorts to detect endianness?)


File should then consist of sections:

Header data including an address for the header section data if included.

Sections list. Include a list of sections with identifiers and addresses, sorted by identifier and in a suitible format to easily be converted to a D hash-map. Addresses for each section should consist of both a start and an end address; the end address should be checked upon reading the section. In addition the start address must be checked against the end of file to avoid security vulnerabilities with reading other memory blocks.
