| Offset | Length | Example | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | 0x04 | 53 49 4C 4B | silk_signature | By now this 2 are represented in wiki separated just incase the format allows for other variants, like SILKFLAT, SILKCRAP, or any other names, but maybe the 8 bytes are processed together |
| 0x04 | 0x04 | 50 41 44 44 | padd_signature | |
| 0x08 | 0x02 | 00 00 | unknown | Always zeroes |
| 0x0A | 0x02 | 0C 00 | entry_amount | Number of entries in the file (in little endian) |
| 0x0C | 0x04 | 00 00 00 00 | padding ? | Always zeroes |
Index table
At offset 0x10 starts the index table, every entry has 0xC byes. All values in the table are in little endian. There is no gap or padding at the end of this index table
Example of the first entry in CEHtmlApi.bin

| Offset | Length | Example | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | 0x04 | B9 0B 00 00 | entry_id | An unique ID for the entry, used by the web browser to identify and to access the data |
| 0x04 | 0x04 | A0 00 00 00 | data_offset | Absolute offset of the data (either a string or a file) |
| 0x08 | 0x04 | 9B 00 00 00 | data_lenght | Size of the data |
Data table
At this point is unknown if the PS3 parses every one of the datas in a specific way based on his type because the IDs of them are hardcoded in the .sprx (so the sprx knows well what to do with them defore reading them), or the data is identifyed by reading the first bytes. Anyway, to manage the datas in PC is needed to read the first bytes because in PC we are not using a database with all the IDs (so we dont know what to do with them before reading them). This identification method is what is explained here in wiki
Data types
All data entries starts with 4 bytes that indicates the length of the text string that comes inmediatly after, so the first bytes that needs to be processed are the 4 bytes + the lenght indicated by that 4 bytes
Text string
This is the most basic example, the entry can be identifyed as a "text string" because is null terminated (note how the text_string_lenght=5 of the example below includes the null byte 0x00 at the end)
Offset(h) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F 00000000 00 00 00 05 54 65 73 74 00 ....Test.
| Offset | Length | Example | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | 0x04 | 00 00 00 05 | text_string_lenght | |
| 0x04 | varies | 54 65 73 74 | text_string | This string indicates the data entry type |
| varies | 0x01 | 00 | null | This is the null termination of the previous string |
HTML (stored as a single text string
The fileformat allows to store HTML files as standard string data, null terminated (so it falls under the same characteristics as a standard text string). Because this reason, the only way to identify it in PC is by reading the first bytes of the string (if it starts with <!DOCTYPE HTML is a HTML)
To extract the data as a HTML file is needed to remove the null byte at the end (and the null byte at the end needs to be added when the HTML file is injected back)
