- .H 1 "SYSTEM USE SHARING PROTOCOL"
- .sp
- The System Use Sharing Protocol divides any System Use Area into a
- number of variable length fields called System Use Fields.
- There may be zero or more System Use Fields in each System Use Area.
- Each System Use Field is identified by a System Use Field Signature
- Word (described below).
- .sp
- More than one System Use Field with the same signature word is allowed,
- unless otherwise specified in the definition of a specific System Use
- Field.
- If allowed, the significance of the order, if any, of the recording of
- multiple System Use Fields with the same signature word shall be specified
- in the definition of the particular System Use Field involved.
- In all other situations, the order in which the System Use Fields
- appear is not significant.
- .sp
- Unless otherwise specified in the definition of a specific
- System Use Field, each System Use Field recorded in the System
- Use Area of the last extent of a multi-extent file shall apply
- to all extents of the file and shall override any System Use
- Field with the same signature recorded for any other extent of
- the file.
- Thus, unless an alternate mechanism is provided in
- the definition of a specific System Use Field, failure to record
- a valid instance of the System Use Field for the final extent of
- a multi-extent file shall be treated the same as if this field
- had not been recorded for any extent of the file.
- .sp
- With the exception of the "SP" field, which is recorded as
- specified in section 5.3, the first System Use Field
- recorded in a System Use Area of any Directory Record shall begin
- in byte LEN_SKP+1 of the System Use Area (see section 5.3 [5]).
- The first System Use Field recorded in any Continuation
- of a System Use Area shall begin in the first byte of the
- Continuation.
- If more than one System Use Field is to be
- recorded in the same System Use Area or Continuation, they shall
- be recorded contiguously.
- .sp
- If the remaining allocated space following the last recorded System
- Use Field in a System Use Area is less than four bytes long, it
- cannot be a System Use Field and shall be ignored.
- Otherwise the use of the System Use Sharing Protocol should be terminated
- by the "ST" field or filled with the "PD" field, which are described in
- Chapter 5.

- .H 2 "System Use Field Format"
- .sp
- The System Use Field format is as follows:
- .sp
- .VL 10 5
- .LI "[1]"
- "BP 1 to BP 2 - Signature Word" shall specify an identification of a System
- Use Field.
- This field shall contain two bytes.
- Each byte is recorded according to the ISO 9660:1988 Format Section 7.1.1.
- .LI "[2]"
- "BP 3 - Length (LEN_SUF)" shall specify as an 8-bit number the
- length in bytes of the System Use Field, including the
- Signature Word, Length, Version and System Use content.
- This field shall be recorded according to the ISO 9660
- Format section 7.1.1.
- .LI "[3]"
- "BP 4 - System Use Field Version" shall specify as an 8-bit
- number an identification of the version of the System Use
- Field.
- This field shall be recorded according to ISO 9660
- Format section 7.1.1.
- .bp
- .LI "[4]"
- "BP 5 to LEN_SUF - Data" shall contain the content of
- the System Use Field.
- The format of this field depends on
- the Signature Word and Version of the System Use Field.
- The Data field is optional.
