Metadata file

This is the file that ends in ".cnmt{.nca}" or "meta0.ncd".

It starts with a header:

Offset Size Description
0x0 8 Title ID
0x8 4
0xC 1 Type (see Title Types)
0xD 1
0xE 2 Offset to table relative to the end of this 0x20-byte header.
0x10 2 Number of entries
0x12 14

An optional header can follow, depending on the title type.

At the end of the file following the entries is a 0x20-byte block, presumably a hash.

With update-format, there's additional data after the end of the entries specified in the header and before the ending hash.

Application header
