AFaIK it is not documented, but if you look at it in an editor you can
figure it out. Other than for academic resins why? Every version of Oracle
comes with the tool. It is not an extra charge item. Why would you want to
build it yourself? It is a format that will work across platforms and
versions of Oracle (provided you use the lowest version of the tool between
platforms eg 816 export into 9 database using the 816 export tool. or using
the 8.1.6 export tool export a 9i database into an 816 database.)
