Library/object format documentation #2

Open ryandesign opened 1 year ago

ryandesign commented 1 year ago

The README says:

The Library format is documented - in so much as I do have a document, but only a printout.

Is there a way that I could get a copy of that document?

For the object format? I believe it is part of the Metrowerks developer tools documentation. Unfortunately it is not something I can probably distribute legally. If you can lay your hands on the install discs from the version 4 or 6 (I think I have seen the docs included in a later install too) you can find the document there. I don't have the docs to hand, so I can't tell you what the filename is.

I've searched through the Tools and Reference discs for CodeWarrior Pro 4, 5, and 6, and haven't found it, but it can be difficult to find a needle in a haystack when one doesn't exactly know what the needle looks like. Do you remember any exact phrase from the documentation that I could search for? Do you remember whether it was a PDF or in some other format? Since the object files begin with the bytes MWOB I figured any documentation of the format would include those four bytes but searching those discs for those bytes has turned up many object files but no documentation about their format.
