# Cabeçalhos

Cabeçalhos, como o próprio nome sugere, são áreas de dados no início de um arquivo. Eles contém diferentes campos, que admitem valores.

Cada campo possui um **tipo** que define seu tamanho. Por exemplo, se dissermos que o primeiro campo de um primeiro cabeçalho é do tipo WORD, estamos afirmando que este tem 2 *bytes* de tamanho, conforme a tabela a seguir:

| Nomenclatura Microsoft | Nome do tipo em C (Microsoft Visual Studio) | Tamanho em *bytes* |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| BYTE                   | unsigned char                               | 1                  |
| WORD                   | unsigned short                              | 2                  |
| DWORD                  | unsigned long                               | 4                  |
| QWORD                  | \_\_int64                                   | 8                  |

Há também os campos que possuem o que chamamos de máscara de bits. Neste campos, cada *bit* de seus *bytes* podem significar alguma coisa se estiverem ligados. Um bom exemplo é o campo "Characteristics" do cabeçalho de seções do arquivo PE, que veremos oportunamente.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mentebinaria.gitbook.io/engenharia-reversa/05-o-formato-pe/cabecalhos.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
