For 64-bit (e.g. x86_64) Linux the 64-bit wide types resolve to long,
not long long as is the case in 32-bit (e.g. i386) Linux. So we need an
explicit cast to long long for 64-bit types since the format string must
specify the 'll' modifier in order to print 64-bit values.
The ntfsprogs used to return failure when option --version or --help
was used, and this has triggered complains from distribution packagers
who use these options in packaging scripts.
With this patch, success is returned (same behavior as gcc).
When trying to undelete a file which was modified several times the
same day, it is difficult to tell which one is the latest unless the
modification time is displayed.
The filtering of files to undelete is usually done through the regex
library. This patch offers an alternate way when such a library is
not readily available (typically on Windows).
When ntfsundelete scans the $MFT for possible deleted files, it may
examine extries which have never been used, producing error messages
which most users do not understand. This patch silences such messages.
The MS_* flags originated from system constants. However the flags
passed to ntfs_mount were really unrelated to the system constants and
many new MS_* flags had to be introduced as different features were
added to the library. Those flags had no counterparts in any system
APIs, so using the same naming scheme is inappropriate.
Instead, let's namespace these flags similarly to what has already been
done in ntfsprogs/libntfs earlier. This avoids any possible conflicts
with system constants.
The values of the flags themselves are kept the same as earlier, so
backward compatibility is retained.
This avoids name collisions with Mac OS X system headers (specifically
/usr/include/sys/queue.h). It's quite possible that other operating
systems also have similarly named macros in their system headers since
the function/macro names are very generic.
When undeleting a file whose name cannot be recovered, this patch
defines a name to which the inode number is appended to facilitate
a bulk recovery (recovering the unwanted deletion of a subtree).
When a file is deleted, ntfs-3g deletes the name from the MFT record,
so the name is not available when the file has to be undeleted.
This patch tries to recover the name when it has not been overwritten.
This is mostly possible when data is non-resident and not fragmented.
Note: The NTFS_MNT_FORCE, in addition to what MS_RECOVER does, also bypasses the check for the 'dirty' bit in libntfs' ntfs_mount.
However, this check does not exist in libntfs-3g (libntfs-3g will not check or change the dirty bit, being confident that it can handle volumes marked as 'dirty'), so in essence the same behaviour is achieved with MS_RECOVER.
volume.[hc]::ntfs_libntfs_version() which returns a pointer to a
static const string of the libntfs verion, i.e. at the moment this is
"8.0.0". This required moving the version specifications from
libntfs/Makefile.am to configure.ac. This should hopefully have the
sideeffect that I will remember to increment it when incrementing the
ntfsprogs version number when making a release given the two are
right under one another. (Anton)
- Change ALL utilities to display the libntfs version they are running
on. This should make debugging easier in the case that people are
running mismatched utilities/library. (Anton)
