Rephrase for clarity. In particular it's more clear that this is exactly the lvl3 image, not more and not less.

No idea what this was supposed to mean (OpenFile returns kernel handles, which are inherently different from archive handles), and it seems rather confusing than helpful.

Archives 0x3 and 0x2345678E both allow for accessing the [[RomFS#Level_3_Format|level-3 IVFC images]] for RomFS access. The main CXI RomFS is accessible via an all-zero 0xc-byte binary file-lowpath. The update RomFS can be accessed with the first u32 in the binary file-lowpath being set to 0x5. The user must handle parsing the filesystem used in the exposed image itself.

In this scenario, OpenFile returns a handle to the RomFS archive.


The 0x3 archive is an interface for the 0x2345678E archive with the current process programID+mediatype. The file lowpath is 3-words. These words are written to 0x2345678E-archive file_lowpath+0, with the rest of that lowpath set to all-zero(lowpath is different from archive 0x2345678A). File lowpath:
