A LINCKS database consists of a number of data files and support files.
The data files are of three types: the index file index, one or more molecule header files ( nnnnnnnnnnn.mol), and one or more data storage files ( nnnnnnnnnnn.dat). These are all binary files and therefore not directly readable.
The support files are the files molecule.names and data.names, the user login definitions file passwd, the user group definitions file groups, and the optional write user group definitions file wrgroups.
