pub const FILE_FORK_NAME: &'static str;
Expand description

Name of the fork. A fork is additional data associated with a filesystem object.

§Notes

On Linux, a resource fork is used to store additional data with a filesystem object. A file always has at least one fork for the data portion, and additional forks may exist. On NTFS, this is analogous to an Alternate Data Stream (ADS), and the default data stream for a file is just called $DATA. Zone.Identifier is commonly used by Windows to track contents downloaded from the Internet. An ADS is typically of the form: C:\path\to\filename.extension:some_fork_name, and some_fork_name is the value that should populate fork_name. filename.extension should populate file.name, and extension should populate file.extension. The full path, file.path, will include the fork name.

§Examples

  • "Zone.Identifer"
