Data types: All numeric Battle.net types are little-endian. Battle.net uses the following types:

• STRING - Null-terminated array of characters.
• WIDESTRING - A null-terminated UTF-8 string. See also: RFC 2279, WideCharToMultiByte()/MultiByteToWideChar(). Please also note that Battle.net only Unicode-encodes strings for Starcraft and Brood War. Other clients are still using ASCII, although it's likely that this will change in the future.
  
• STRING[] - An array of strings (see above). This type is generally only used when another field in the packet specifies how many entries there are.
  
• STRINGLIST - A series of strings (see above) with an additional null-terminator at the end.
• QWORD - 64 bit (8 byte) unsigned integer.
• DWORD - 32 bit (4 byte) unsigned integer.
• DWORD[] - The lack of a specified size indicates that the size is variable or unknown.
• WORD - 16 bit (2 byte) unsigned integer.
• BYTE - 8 bit (1 byte) unsigned integer.
• BOOL - An unsigned little-endian integer (a byte) whose value is always 0 (FALSE) or 1 (TRUE). Can also be a DWORD, depending on the packet.
• VOID - Data marked as VOID has no particular type or length. Where data is marked as VOID, additional information is given on its use.
• FILETIME - A Windows struct, used to store filetime information. Can be read as a QWORD or two DWORDs
