Detailed Description

Stores information about a file attribute.

File attributes store data for a file. Most files have at least one attribute that stores the file content. See TSK_FS_ATTR for details on attributes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TskFsAttribute::TskFsAttribute ( const TSK_FS_ATTR a_fsAttr)
inline

construct a TskFsAttribute object

Parameters
a_fsAttra pointer of TSK_FS_ATTR. If NULL, the getX() return values are undefi ned.

Member Function Documentation

TSK_OFF_T TskFsAttribute::getAllocSize ( ) const
inline

get number of bytes that are allocated in all clusters of non-resident run 

(will be larger than size - does not include skiplen).

This is defined when the attribute is created and used to determine slack space.

Returns
number of bytes that are allocated in all clusters of non-resident run

References TSK_FS_ATTR::allocsize, and TSK_FS_ATTR::nrd.

const uint8_t* TskFsAttribute::getBuf ( ) const
inline

Pointer to buffer with resident data.

Only getSize() bytes will be valid.

Returns
pointer to buffer with resident data.

References TSK_FS_ATTR::buf, and TSK_FS_ATTR::rd.

uint32_t TskFsAttribute::getCompSize ( ) const
inline

get size of compression units (needed only if NTFS file is compressed)

Returns
size of compression units (needed only if NTFS file is compressed)

References TSK_FS_ATTR::compsize, and TSK_FS_ATTR::nrd.

TSK_FS_ATTR_FLAG_ENUM TskFsAttribute::getFlags ( ) const
inline

get the attribute's flags

Returns
flags for attribute

References TSK_FS_ATTR::flags.

uint16_t TskFsAttribute::getId ( ) const
inline

get id of attribute

Returns
id of attribute

References TSK_FS_ATTR::id.

TSK_OFF_T TskFsAttribute::getInitSize ( ) const
inline

get number of bytes (starting from offset 0) that have data 

(including FILLER) saved for them (smaller then or equal to size).

This is defined when the attribute is created.

Returns
number of bytes (starting from offset 0) that have data

References TSK_FS_ATTR::initsize, and TSK_FS_ATTR::nrd.

const char* TskFsAttribute::getName ( ) const
inline

get the attributes's name (in UTF-8).

Returns
name of attribute (or NULL if attribute doesn't have one)

References TSK_FS_ATTR::name.

const TskFsAttrRun* TskFsAttribute::getRun ( int  a_idx) const
inline

get a run for a non-resident attribute.

It's caller's responsibility to free memory of TskFsAttrRun

Parameters
a_idxThe index of the run to return.
Returns
A run in the attribute.

References TSK_FS_ATTR_RUN::next, TSK_FS_ATTR::nrd, and TSK_FS_ATTR::run.

int TskFsAttribute::getRunCount ( ) const
inline

gets the number of runs in a non-resident attribute.

Returns
number of runs.

References TSK_FS_ATTR_RUN::next, TSK_FS_ATTR::nrd, and TSK_FS_ATTR::run.

TSK_OFF_T TskFsAttribute::getSize ( ) const
inline

get size in bytes of attribute (does not include skiplen for non-resident)

Returns
size in bytes of attribute

References TSK_FS_ATTR::size.

uint32_t TskFsAttribute::getSkipLen ( ) const
inline

get number of initial bytes in run to skip before content begins.

The size field does not include this length.

Returns
number of initial bytes in run to skip before content begins

References TSK_FS_ATTR::nrd, and TSK_FS_ATTR::skiplen.

TSK_FS_ATTR_TYPE_ENUM TskFsAttribute::getType ( ) const
inline

get type of attribute

Returns
type of attribute

References TSK_FS_ATTR::type.

ssize_t TskFsAttribute::read ( TSK_OFF_T  a_offset,
char *  a_buf,
size_t  a_len,
TSK_FS_FILE_READ_FLAG_ENUM  a_flags 
)
inline

Read the contents of this attribute using a typical read() type interface.

0s are returned for missing runs.

See tsk_fs_attr_read() for details

Parameters
a_offsetThe byte offset to start reading from.
a_bufThe buffer to read the data into.
a_lenThe number of bytes to read from the file.
a_flagsFlags to use while reading
Returns
The number of bytes read or -1 on error (incl if offset is past end of file).

References tsk_fs_attr_read().

uint8_t TskFsAttribute::walk ( TSK_FS_FILE_WALK_FLAG_ENUM  a_flags,
TSK_FS_FILE_WALK_CPP_CB  a_action,
void *  a_ptr 
)
inline

Process an attribute and call a callback function with its contents.

The callback will be called with chunks of data that are fs->block_size or less. The address given in the callback will be correct only for raw files (when the raw file contents were stored in the block). For compressed and sparse attributes, the address may be zero.

See tsk_fs_attr_walk() for details

Parameters
a_flagsFlags to use while processing attribute
a_actionCallback action to call with content
a_ptrPointer that will passed to callback
Returns
1 on error and 0 on success.

References tsk_fs_attr_walk().
