7. Appendix: embedded CSDT container

The appendix is a complete, standalone CSDT container, byte for byte as the CSDT library writes it. PLXI defines no binary payload encoding of its own. The container is specified by the Cintilé container format [CSDT]; this section states only what a PLXI implementation needs.

• Every offset inside the container (section table offset, section data offsets) is relative to the container's first byte, csdt_offset, not to the .plxi file.
• Because csdt_offset is a multiple of 64 and the container's own alignment is 64, every aligned view the container promises is aligned in the file as well.
• The container header is 128 bytes. Bytes 0 to 3 are CSDT. Byte 4 is the generation discriminator for every header layout.
