.BIN file format

Hi everyone,

Could someone please clarify the "Image Length" field? The description
says that it is the "Physical length, in bytes, of the image." Does this
mean the total number of bytes in the image or the total number of bytes
that the image spans? Either way, it doesn't seem to make much sense. I
have an eboot.bin file that has an image length field of 45992 bytes,
but the size of the file itself is only 41k approximately. Can anyone
explain how this field is calculated?

Regards,

Glenn.

It is the length of the image spans. The bin file is composed by multiple
records, there may be gaps between the records, but they are counted into
the total image length.
