Classes
struct	wowlib::db::WdbcHeader
	The 20-byte WDBC header (wowdev.wiki/DBC). More...

Namespaces
namespace	wowlib
namespace	wowlib::db

Functions
Result< void >	wowlib::db::readWdbc (const TableInfo &info, std::span< const std::byte > data, RecordSink &sink, TableState &state)
	Decode a WDBC image: 20-byte header, fixed-stride records, string block.
Result< FileBuffer >	wowlib::db::writeWdbc (const TableInfo &info, const RecordSource &source, const TableState &state)
	Encode a WDBC image; the string block preserves decoded offsets and appends new/changed strings (byte-perfect for an unmodified table).

Variables
constexpr std::uint32_t	wowlib::db::WdbcMagic = formats::fourcc("WDBC", formats::FourCCEndian::Forward)
	The WDBC magic as memcpy'd off the file front (the bytes "WDBC").

Detailed Description

WDBC — the client-database format of every pre-Cataclysm .dbc (and the .dbc leftovers of Cataclysm..Legion clients): a 20-byte header, recordCount fixed-stride records, then the string block.

Field types are not in the file; the schema comes from WoWDBDefs (schema.hpp).

This header carries the binary header struct and the NON-templated codec entry points; the implementation (wdbc.cpp) drives records through the RecordSink / RecordSource so it is compiled once, not per generated table.
