Header
Column 	Field 	Type 	Notes
1 	Signature 	String 	(4-bytes) string, always 'WDBC'
2 	Records 	Integer 	(4-bytes) number of records in the file
3 	Fields 	Integer 	(4-bytes) number of fields per record
4 	Record Size 	Integer 	(4-bytes) Fields*FieldSize (FieldSize is usually 4, but not always)
5 	String Block Size 	Integer 	(4-bytes) Size of the string block

Unlike the cache files, string data is stored in a block after the records. String data in records contain an offset to the string, starting from the string block.

Notes

When encountering a string field in a dbc file, it usually consists of an english name field as well as 7 additional fields for different localizations. Following the 8 String* fields is a bitmask field. I'm not exactly sure what the bitmask field is used for yet.
