<includeonly>A '''dictionary''' (sometimes known as DICT) is a common structure used in many [[Nintendo]] formats such as [[BFRES]] and [[BNTX]]. It is used for fast name look-up, in order to find a specific array item by its name. It starts with the following structure:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Offset !! Type !! Description
|-
| 0x00 || Char[4] || '''Section magic'''. Always ''_DIC'' in ASCII. Note that in [[BFRES]] this magic is set to 00 00 00 00, most likely due to an export error.
|-
| 0x04 || Int32 || '''Number of entries'''. This does not include the root entry.
|}

After, the entries are specified. The root entry follows first, then all other entries are stored. Each entry has the following structure:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Offset !! Type !! Description
|-
| 0x00 || Int32 || '''Ref bit'''.
|-
| 0x04 || UInt16[2] || '''Child node indices'''. First the left node, then the right node.
|-
| 0x08 || Int64 || '''Key offset''', which points to the key name this entry stores.
