## Detailed Description

A structure which represents a CHM helpfile.

All fields are READ ONLY.

## Field Documentation

unsigned int mschmd_header::chunk_size

The size of each PMGL/PMGI chunk, in bytes.

unsigned int mschmd_header::density

The "density" of the quick-reference section in PMGL/PMGI chunks.

unsigned int mschmd_header::depth

The depth of the index tree.

- if 1, there are no PMGI chunks, only PMGL chunks.
- if 2, there is 1 PMGI chunk. All chunk indices point to PMGL chunks.
- if 3, the root PMGI chunk points to secondary PMGI chunks, which in turn point to PMGL chunks.
- and so on...

off_t mschmd_header::dir_offset

The file offset of the first PMGL/PMGI directory chunk.

char* mschmd_header::filename

The filename of the CHM helpfile.

This is given by the library user and may be in any format.

struct mschmd_file* mschmd_header::files

A list of all non-system files in the CHM helpfile.

unsigned int mschmd_header::index_root

The number of the root PGMI chunk.

If there is no index in the CHM helpfile, this will be 0xFFFFFFFF.

unsigned int mschmd_header::language

The default Language and Country ID (LCID) of the user who ran the HTMLHelp Compiler.

This is not the language of the CHM file itself.

off_t mschmd_header::length

The length of the CHM helpfile, in bytes.

unsigned int mschmd_header::num_chunks

The number of PMGL/PMGI directory chunks in this CHM helpfile.

struct mschmd_sec_uncompressed mschmd_header::sec0

The section 0 (uncompressed) data in this CHM helpfile.

struct mschmd_sec_mscompressed mschmd_header::sec1

The section 1 (MSCompressed) data in this CHM helpfile.

struct mschmd_file* mschmd_header::sysfiles

A list of all system files in the CHM helpfile.

System files are files which begin with "::". They are meta-files generated by the CHM creation process.

unsigned int mschmd_header::timestamp

The "timestamp" of the CHM helpfile.

It is the lower 32 bits of a 64-bit value representing the number of centiseconds since 1601-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, plus 42. It is not useful as a timestamp, but it is useful as a semi-unique ID.

unsigned int mschmd_header::version

The version of the CHM file format used in this file.

The documentation for this struct was generated from the following file:
