  * First two nodes in the file table are ‘null’ and ‘.’ both have compressed file length of 7.

=== Files Data ===

−
  * Each file is compressed using LZ-10. (Starts with 0x10 and followed by uint24 of the uncompressed file size).
 
−
  * Each file's end is padded to 0x10 besides the last one which ends with EOF.

Found in manual files compressed with LZ-10

(more compression methods might be available).
