This page hosts a formal specification of APM (Apple Partition Map) partition table using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for JavaScript generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the JavaScript runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
The JavaScript runtime library is available at npm:
npm install kaitai-structSee the usage examples in the JavaScript notes.
Parse structure from an ArrayBuffer:
var arrayBuffer = ...;
var data = new ApmPartitionTable(new KaitaiStream(arrayBuffer));
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by accessing fields or properties like:
data.sectorSize // => 0x200 (512) bytes for disks, 0x1000 (4096) bytes is not supported by APM
0x800 (2048) bytes for CDROM
// This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild
