Description
This file used to store eMule's configuration in it's earlier versions. Nowadays, it only stores the userhash and the configuration file version.
Data
The current configuration file version is 20 (in hex: 0x14).
Format
The file format is as follows:
VersionUserhashLengthFlagsShowcmdMaxpositionxMaxpositionyMinpositionxMinpositionyNormalpositionleftNormalpositiontopNormalpositionrightNormalpositionbottom
As you can see, all the fields are stored without any separator character. This is done like this all the fields have a specific size:
- Version: 1 byte
- Userhash: 2 bytes
- Length: 4 bytes
- Flags: 4 bytes
- Showcmd: 4 bytes
- Maxpositionx: 4 bytes
- Maxpositiony: 4 bytes
- Minpositionx: 4 bytes
- Minpositiony: 4 bytes
- Normalpositionleft: 4 bytes
- Normalpositiontop: 4 bytes
- Normalpositionright: 4 bytes
- Normalpositionbottom: 4 bytes
Once this data is put together, it is stored in little-endian.
Example
The following is a hex dump of an hypothetic preferences-dat file:
a3143e6f12dd445b12a0c3c6f7ca5b2d00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
In the above example, the following data can be seen:
- Configuration file version: 20 (In hex: 0x14)
- Userhash: A36F3EDD125B44A012C6C3CAF72D5B
- Window position and size: ---
Extra
aMule ignores the main window position, main window size, showcmd, flags and length fields in this file. That's the reason why this fields aren't specified in this article.
