Every chunk in an AIFF or AIFF-C file contains a chunk header that defines characteristics of the chunk. The ChunkHeader data type defines a chunk header.
TYPE ChunkHeader =
RECORD
ckID: ID; {chunk type ID}
ckSize: LongInt; {number of bytes of data}
END;
The ID of the chunk. An ID is a 32-bit concatenation of any four printable ASCII characters in the range ' ' (space character, ASCII value $20) through '~' (ASCII value $7E). Spaces cannot precede printing characters, but trailing spaces are allowed. Control characters are not allowed. See "Chunk IDs" for a list of the currently recognized chunk IDs.
The size of the chunk in bytes, not including the ckID and ckSize fields.
