There is one entry in the index file per verse in the versification. Each entry consists of a 4 byte offset and a 2 or 4 byte length. The -s flag indicates the byte size of the length. So using a -s4 will increase the size of the index file by 33%.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The data file is unchanged by the -s flag.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The compressed module is similar but has an extra set of files to indicate the block start and block size.
