2.2.1 NSC File Format

  • Article

The .nsc file MUST only contain characters from the ASCII character set. Lines MUST be separated by a carriage-return character followed by a line-feed character.

The .nsc file MUST contain two sections that are labeled "[Address]" and "[Formats]". Each section consists of a sequence of name/value pairs for a variety of properties. The value portion of a property is represented differently depending on the data type of the value. The data type can be an integer, a string, or binary. If the data type is a string, and value is an empty string, then the property does not exist.

The syntax of .nsc files is defined by using augmented Backus-Naur Form (BNF) grammar and is as specified in section 2.2.1.1.
