Here is the format:-

1. Header of a dbf file.

typedef struct
{
      char dbf_id;
      char last_update[3];
      long last_rec;
      unsigned data_offset;
      unsigned rec_size;
      char filler[20];
} 

2. Followed by field information.
    typedef struct
    { 
         char field_name[11];
         char field_type;
         union
         { 
            unsigned char_len;
            struct
            {
               char len;
               char dec;
             }num_size;
          }len_info;
          char filter_[14];
        } field_rec;
