Apple Icon Image format

Under Mac OS ("Classic", i.e. 7.x-9.x), icons were traditionally stored as metadata in resource forks. Mac OS X introduced a new, more portable format for icons to accommodate filesystems that can't store resource forks: icns files. These files contain the exact equivalent of a corresponding icns resource:

icns < total length > < data >

where

  • total length is a big-endian (0x12345678 is stored as 12.34.56.78) 32-bit integer; this length includes the resource header (and should therefore be equal to the size of the icns file)
  • data is a sequence of bytes
