In the SCM section of the Garage you can checkout the sources and see how the file is read, in database.py file ("load" method).

But the file structure is very simple. To read, first you need to decompress, and after that decrypt. If the password is correct, the result will be a readable text:
1- the password is in the first line (for checking purposes only)
2- the second line is the version of the database (currently 2, but it will change soon)
3- third line is the MD5 checksum of the data
4- from the fourth line to the end is the data itself
