1. List of all the properties of this file format intrinsic to its file system

The .MSO file format is a proprietary binary container based on the Microsoft Compound File Binary Format (CFBF), also known as Structured Storage or OLE Compound File. It functions like a file system within a single file, with sectors, allocation tables, and directory entries. The intrinsic properties are derived from the file's header (first 512 bytes) and directory structure, which define the "file system" layout and metadata. These include:

• Signature (Magic Number): An 8-byte fixed value (0xD0 0xCF 0x11 0xE0 0xA1 0xB1 0x1A 0xE1) identifying the file as CFBF.
• CLSID: A 16-byte GUID (Class Identifier) for the root storage; typically zero for .MSO files.
• Minor Version: A 2-byte unsigned short indicating the minor format version (commonly 0x003E or 62 in decimal for compatibility).
• Major Version (DLL Version): A 2-byte unsigned short indicating the major format version (3 for 512-byte sectors, 4 for 4096-byte sectors).
• Byte Order: A 2-byte unsigned short (always 0xFFFE for little-endian/Intel byte ordering).
• Sector Shift: A 2-byte unsigned short defining the sector size as a power of 2 (e.g., 9 for 512-byte sectors).
• Mini Sector Shift: A 2-byte unsigned short defining the mini-sector size as a power of 2 (e.g., 6 for 64-byte mini-sectors).
• Reserved (Header Reserved 1): A 2-byte unsigned short that must be zero.
• Reserved (Header Reserved 2): A 4-byte unsigned long that must be zero.
• Number of Directory Sectors: A 4-byte unsigned long indicating the count of sectors in the directory chain (must be zero for 512-byte sectors; used for larger sectors).
• Number of FAT Sectors: A 4-byte unsigned long indicating the count of sectors in the File Allocation Table (FAT) chain.
• First Directory Sector Location: A 4-byte unsigned long pointing to the starting sector ID (SID) of the directory chain.
• Transaction Signature: A 4-byte unsigned long for transaction support (must be zero, as transactions are not supported in the reference implementation).
• Mini Stream Cutoff Size: A 4-byte unsigned long defining the maximum size for streams in the mini-stream (typically 4096 bytes).
• First Mini FAT Sector Location: A 4-byte unsigned long pointing to the starting SID of the MiniFAT chain.
• Number of Mini FAT Sectors: A 4-byte unsigned long indicating the count of sectors in the MiniFAT chain.
• First DIFAT Sector Location: A 4-byte unsigned long pointing to the starting SID of the Double-Indirect FAT (DIFAT) chain.
• Number of DIFAT Sectors: A 4-byte unsigned long indicating the count of sectors in the DIFAT chain.
• DIFAT Array: An array of 109 4-byte unsigned longs listing the first 109 FAT sector locations (unused entries are set to FREESECT: 0xFFFFFFFF).

Additionally, the directory entries (starting from the first directory sector) contain per-stream/storage properties, which are part of the intrinsic file system structure:

• Name: A variable-length Unicode string (up to 32 characters, null-terminated) for the stream or storage.
• Name Length: A 2-byte unsigned short indicating the length of the name in bytes (including null terminator).
• Type: A 1-byte enum (e.g., 0x00 = unknown, 0x01 = storage, 0x02 = stream, 0x05 = root storage).
• Color: A 1-byte enum for red-black tree balancing (0x00 = red, 0x01 = black).
• Left Sibling SID: A 4-byte signed long pointing to the left sibling directory entry.
• Right Sibling SID: A 4-byte signed long pointing to the right sibling directory entry.
• Child SID: A 4-byte signed long pointing to the child directory entry (for storages).
• CLSID: A 16-byte GUID for the storage's class identifier.
• State Bits: A 4-byte unsigned long for user-defined flags.
• Creation Time: An 8-byte FILETIME structure (Windows timestamp).
• Modify Time: An 8-byte FILETIME structure (Windows timestamp).
• Starting Sector Location: A 4-byte unsigned long pointing to the first sector of the stream.
• Stream Size: An 8-byte unsigned long long indicating the size of the stream (or high 4 bytes zero for versions <4).

These properties define the allocation, hierarchy, and metadata within the .MSO file's internal file system.
