這是“檔案格式探究”專題的第 1 期——初探 “ePub” 檔案格式。這個專題將會給各位讀者呈現筆者探索各種檔案格式的過程，具體則是檔案的內容是如何呈現出來的。原則上我們假定僅對於這些檔案格式的用途有所瞭解，但具體實現的細節並不清楚 (如果提前掌握了部分內容，筆者全當其不存在) 。探究過程中我們會嘗試使用各種方法來逐漸初步掌握其概貌。
檔案格式簡介
根據維基百科大陸簡體版本的相關描述：
EPub 是一個自由的開放標準，屬於一種可以“自動重新排版”的內容；也就是文字內容可以根據閱讀裝置的特性，以最適於閱讀的方式顯示。
之所以後面不截是因為再截就劇透了。簡單來說，ePub 就是類似於 PDF 那樣的“文件型”檔案格式，常用於分發電子讀物等。
探究過程
環境
現在筆者手頭上有一份用於測試的 ePub 檔案，檔案路徑為 ~/Downloads/咖啡館推理事件簿系列（全四本）.epub (趁機夾帶私貨，反正很合我胃口就是了) ，後續所有的探究活動均建立於此檔案上。筆者目前的作業系統環境為 Manjaro 21.1.0 on amd64，終端環境為 GNU bash 5.1.8(1)-release 。為了方便，我們先把檔案改個名字 (那你還把原來的名字給出來幹嘛？！) ：
[littleye233@lymjrolt Downloads]$ cd ~
[littleye233@lymjrolt ~]$ cd Downloads
[littleye233@lymjrolt Downloads]$ mv 咖啡館推理事件簿系列（全四本）.epub test.epub
[littleye233@lymjrolt Downloads]$ ll test.epub
-rw-r--r-- 1 littleye233 littleye233 1253964 Aug 22 23:24 test.epub
Round I. 檔案型別
首先我們先嚐試用 Linux 系統的內建命令 file 試試水，看看會輸出什麼東西。鍵入 file test.epub後執行：
[littleye233@lymjrolt Downloads]$ file test.epub
test.epub: EPUB document EPUB document
哎呀，真可惜！ file 命令幾乎什麼有效資訊都沒給我們。 file 命令的 man 頁面明確給出此命令可以判斷檔案格式，但其實它能做到的有很多，例如如果對一個圖片檔案使用 file ，可能會出現類似下面的結果：
[littleye233@lymjrolt Downloads]$ file ~/.local/share/osu/screenshots/osu_2021-08-21_23-40-03.png
/home/littleye233/.local/share/osu/screenshots/osu_2021-08-21_23-40-03.png: PNG image data, 1920 x 961, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
這樣我們可以通過 file 中提供的相關資訊順藤摸瓜，嘗試在檔案的二進位制編碼內容中尋找其蛛絲馬跡，進而推測對應“位點”所表達的含義 (因為一些檔案格式要求在特定的位置表達某些含義) ，如果能提供類似註釋的資訊就再好不過了。
Round II. 檔案結構
現在我們回到這個 ePub 檔案上來。現在我們嘗試能否直接獲取其內容，目的是通過檔案頭部的部分可見字元猜測其檔案結構。輸入 nano test.epub 直接預覽，或使用 head --bytes=120 test.epub 檢視前面 120 個位元組的內容：
[littleye233@lymjrolt Downloads]$ head --bytes=120 test.epub
PK!oa�mimetypeapplication/epub+zipPU�N�;�ʯ�META-INF/container.xml]�A
�0E�=
果不其然，我們看到了一些有趣的字眼： “mimetypeapplication/epub+zip” ，憑經驗猜測，這應該是 ePub 檔案格式的檔案頭，而其中的 “zip” 也說明—— ePub 檔案可能本質上就是一個壓縮檔。
其實很多檔案格式 (例如 Word 文件 “*.docx”) 其本質都是在一個壓縮檔中加入各種資原始檔和配置檔案，只要有對應的軟體進行讀取並重新加工，使用者即能看到效果。
Round III. 目錄樹結構
現在我們可以使用解壓縮程式解出 ePub 檔案中的內容了。在終端中執行 unzip -l test.epub ：
[littleye233@lymjrolt Downloads]$ unzip -l test.epub
Archive: test.epub

Round IV. 內部檔案
到這裡我們大概就能猜出來：
META-INF資料夾：裡面存放的應該是“容器” (也就是這個 ePub 檔案) 的相關配置檔案；mimetype檔案：裡面定義了這個檔案的型別為 “ePub” (其中 “MIME” 是 “Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions” 的縮寫，從字面上也能看出其具有指示 “Extension” 的機能) ；OEBPS資料夾：雖暫不知其確切含義，但應存放 ePub 的文字、圖片以及其他的介面資料；content.opf檔案：裡面存放的應該是目錄資訊——或是定義各種檔案的“次序”；ImagesStyles和Text資料夾：明顯分別存放圖片、層疊樣式表和文字資料；toc.ncx檔案：可能是真正的目錄 (“toc” 是 “table of contents” 的縮寫)。
接下來我們將挨個分析。
Round IV.I. 容器
先看 META-INF/container.xml ：
[littleye233@lymjrolt test_epub]$ file META-INF/container.xml
META-INF/container.xml: XML 1.0 document, ASCII text
輸出其內容：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<container version="1.0" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:container">
<rootfiles>
<rootfile full-path="OEBPS/content.opf" media-type="application/oebps-package+xml"/> </rootfiles>
</container>
顯然是一個標準的 XML 檔案，其中我們可以注意到 /container/rootfiles/rootfile[@class='full-path'][1] 中定義了一個我們之前認定的目錄檔案，但此處可以規範化，故這個檔案在大多數 ePub 檔中應該是相同的。
Round IV.II. 檔案型別定性
接下來看 mimetype 檔案：
[littleye233@lymjrolt test_epub]$ cat mimetype
application/epub+zip
這也是相當顯然的，也不再贅述。
Round IV.III. 目錄？
再看 OEBPS/content.opf ：
[littleye233@lymjrolt test_epub]$ file OEBPS/content.opf
OEBPS/content.opf: XML 1.0 document, Unicode text, UTF-8 text, with very long lines (504)
這也是一個 XML 檔案，令人驚訝的是 file 命令竟能看出這個檔案中最長的行有 504 個字元，屬實讓人害怕。
點此檢視 `OEBPS/content.opf` 的全部內容 (已經過格式化)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

說明我之前並沒有猜錯，這個檔案存放的是超越“目錄”的東西，而是“次序”——更進一步說。是“索引”。這個檔案類似於其他檔案格式或目錄樹中的 index.* ，將 ePub 中的各種資料編上號碼，同時這裡也定義了標題、語言、作者、出版 (釋出) 日期等元資訊。至於之前看到的超長行，似乎是一種十六進位制的水印 (watermark) ，或許是為了防侵權等。
其中的 /package/manifest/item 定義了所有的索引，以及檔案對應的型別； /package/spine/itemref 暫不知進一步的作用，但從中可看出能定義是否“線性” (linear) ； /package/guide/reference 定義了 ePub 的封面等索引，可供檔案管理器和 ePub 閱讀器使用 (顯示預覽頁) 。

再看 OEBPS/toc.ncx ：

我們不妨將目光轉向較為重要的“目錄”的定義上。為了方便觀察，筆者偷點懶，使用桌面環境中自帶的閱讀器觀察：
從中可以看出目錄是二層結構，恰好和 OEBPS/toc.ncx 中的定義保持一致。而其中的部分重要屬性均可“望文生義”，此處不再進一步研究。
Round IV.V. 其餘部分
最後剩下的是圖片、文字和層疊樣式表。雖然這部分是在整個 ePub 檔案中佔比最大也可以說是最重要的部分，但由於這一塊的內容實在是太過直白，再講下去恐怕要開始補習 HTML 和 CSS 知識了，故同樣略去。
總結
根據上文中的簡要探究， ePub 是一種以 XML 檔案格式為配置檔案型別的、包含有圖片及文字等資料的、以壓縮檔為本質的檔案格式。查閱相關資料後可知其實質與上文中分析類似。
而通過上文的分析，我們初步體驗到分析一種陌生檔案格式的規律和技巧，可以用於後續對更復雜的檔案格式的探究。
但最後，別忘了把那個 ePub 檔案的名字改回來 XD ：
