== Index pointer list == | == Index pointer list == | ||
The index pointer list is a list of 4 byte offsets to the directory entries. Since directory entries has variable size, this is needed for random access. | |||
Due to the fact, that these pointers are only 4 byte, the directory entries have to be in the first 4GB of the zim file. The pointers to data in the directory entries are 8 bytes, so that the zim file may be much larger than the 4GB. | |||
