Header, footer of a file


Does anyone know the header and footer, in hexadecimal format, for a "flac" file? And whether the header and footer are case sensitive?

I am trying to rescue my flac files in a corrupter ext3 file system. Although there exists some commercial software for doing this, they are all expensive. Now I am using the software "foremost" (an open source software in Linux) to try to tackle the problem. But I need the above information.

Please help! Thanks very very much for giving any opinion.

By "header and footer", do you mean the bytes at the beginning and end? Google gives lots of hits, but I could not immediately find the format details. (Being open-source, it's out there somewhere)

Why not just look at a file? Like so:

cat filename.flac | hexdump -C | more

To go right to the end of the file, take out the "more".
