The current PCB file format is documented in the PCB manual, which is
part of the PCB install.  Look for "pcb.pdf" and read the "File
Formats -> File Syntax" subsection.

Note that while the file seems to be line oriented, and pcb always
outputs it as such, the specification does not require that.  The only
reliable way to read a PCB file is to write a plugin and let pcb read
it for you :-)
