How it works

Space-pad the fixed-width ASCII fields and finish with backtick + LF. Odd payload sizes need one following LF padding byte.

A 3-byte member uses 60 header bytes, 3 data bytes and 1 padding byte: 64 bytes.

Limits

Header download only. Payload, global !<arch> header, symbol tables and long-name extensions are excluded. No paths, spaces or slash characters in short names.
