Sub-root-objects

Here a list of sub-root-objects and their identifiers stand. The list is initiated with a 64-bit natural number $N$, which specifies the number of elements in the list. This is followed by a 8-bit integer $B$, which indicates the bytes per identifier.

Then follows a list of $N$ pairs of identifiers and root-elements. The identifier of each pair is an integer (in the root-element always greater than 0, in the database less than 0). It is the first element in the list element pairs and is $B$ bytes long. It is followed by the root-element, as described in this section 21.2 (beginning at page ). Each pair is padded with 0 bits to full a byte.
