CDL file format

CDL file has a header (CD-Index mark) and records.

CDL header

Field Format Length Description
Mark "CDL" 3 Always equal to "CDL" for CDL files
Version byte 1 Right now the only possible value is 0x01

CDL link record

CDL records are just strings containing pathes to the real files/directories. CD-Index reads the offset from the info field of a symbolic link record in CDI file then finds a record in CDL file with this offset. The length of the record in CDL file is equal to the value of the size field of a symbolic link record in CDI file.
