2.4.47 FileStreamInformation

This information class is used to enumerate the data streams of a file or a directory. A buffer of FILE_STREAM_INFORMATION data elements is returned by the server.

When multiple FILE_STREAM_INFORMATION data elements are present in the buffer, each MUST be aligned on an 8-byte boundary; any bytes inserted for alignment SHOULD be set to zero and the receiver MUST ignore them. No padding is required following the last data element.

A FILE_STREAM_INFORMATION data element is as follows.

NextEntryOffset (4 bytes):  A 32-bit unsigned integer that contains the byte offset from the beginning of this entry, at which the next FILE_STREAM_INFORMATION entry is located, if multiple entries are present in a buffer. This member is zero if no other entries follow this one. An implementation MUST use this value to determine the location of the next entry (if multiple entries are present in a buffer).

StreamNameLength (4 bytes):  A 32-bit unsigned integer that contains the length, in bytes, of the stream name string.

StreamSize (8 bytes):  A 64-bit signed integer that contains the size, in bytes, of the stream. The value of this field MUST be greater than or equal to 0x0000000000000000.

StreamAllocationSize (8 bytes): A 64-bit signed integer that contains the file stream allocation size, in bytes. The value of this field MUST be an integer multiple of the cluster size.

StreamName (variable): A sequence of Unicode characters containing the name of the stream using the form ":streamname:$DATA", or "::$DATA" for the default data stream, as specified in section 2.1.4. This field is not null-terminated and MUST be handled as a sequence of StreamNameLength bytes.

This operation returns a status code as specified in section 2.2. Upon success, the status code returned by the function that processes this file information class is STATUS_SUCCESS. The most common error codes are listed in the following table.
