Module indexes

Various types of NTFS indexes and traits to work with them.

Thanks to Rust’s typesystem, the traits make using the various types of NTFS indexes (and their distinct key and data types) possible in a typesafe way.

NTFS uses B-tree indexes to quickly look up files, Object IDs, Reparse Points, Security Descriptors, etc. They are described via NtfsIndexRoot and NtfsIndexAllocation attributes, which can be comfortably accessed via NtfsIndex.

Structs

NtfsFileNameIndex

Defines the NtfsIndexEntryType for filename indexes (commonly known as “directories”).

Traits

NtfsIndexEntryData

Trait implemented by a structure that describes Index Entry data.

NtfsIndexEntryHasData

Indicates that the Index Entry type has additional data (of NtfsIndexEntryData datatype).

NtfsIndexEntryHasFileReference

Indicates that the Index Entry type has a file reference.

NtfsIndexEntryKey

Trait implemented by a structure that describes an Index Entry key.

NtfsIndexEntryType

Trait implemented by structures that describe Index Entry types.
