该格式描述事件时binlog version 4中为了取代之前版本的START_EVENT_3事件而引入的。是binlog文件的第一个事件，并在一个binlog文件中仅出现一次。具体定义：

binlog-version：binlog版本
mysql-server version：服务器版本
create timestamp：指明binlog文件的创建时间。如果该binlog是由于切换产生，那么该字段是0
event header length：189
event type header lengths：记录所有事件的私有事件头的长度，event的个数定义5.6，5.7为40个，也就是40个字节

分析：

1、开头4个字节binlog magic number：fe 62 69 6e，即.bin

2、第一个binlog事件是FORMAT_DESCRIPTION_EVENT。

3、timestamp： 46 c4 a4 5a，即小端显示0x5aa4c446，十进制1520747590，
[mysql26@localhost data]$ date -d "@1520747590"
Sat Mar 10 21:53:10 PST 2018

binlog解析的时间是：#180310 21:53:10 server id 11 end_log_pos 120 CRC32 0x19c5a1c8 Start: binlog v 4, server v 5.6.26-debug-log created 180310 21:53:10 at startup
3、event type：0f，即15

5、server-id：0b 00 00 00，即小端显示0x00 00 00 0b，即为11

6、event size：74 00 00 00：0x 00 00 00 74，116。120-4（.bin）

7、next-log pos：78 00 00 00：0x00 00 00 78，120，下一个event的位置，相对文件头位置，和end_log_pos 120一致

8、flag：01 00；为0X0001那么会在MYSQLBINLOG输出中报一个警告说本binlog没有关闭

9、binlog version：04 00，小端显示及0X0004,和mysqlbinlog中的解析Start: binlog v 4一致

10、mysql server version：5.6.26-debug-log，剩下的字节0填充

00000010                              35 2e 36 2e 32 36 2d  |.x.......5.6.26-|  
00000020  64 65 62 75 67 2d 6c 6f  67 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |debug-log.......|  
00000030  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |................|  
00000040  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00   

11、create stamp：46 c4 a4 5a，和event头一样

12、event header length：13，即19字节

13、event header lengths：array[30]-[32]:0a 0a 0a，表示 WRITE_ROWS_EVENT = 30,UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT = 31, DELETE_ROWS_EVENT = 32的私有事件头长度

00000050  38 0d 00 08 00 12 00 04  04 04 04 12 00 00 5c 00  |8.............\.|  
00000060  04 1a 08 00 00 00 08 08  08 02 00 00 00 0a 0a 0a  |................|  
00000070  19 19 00 01 c8 a1 c5 19
