added AT_NONAME so we can search for a (un)named attribute or just
iterate through all attributes

2002/07/08 06:23:22-00:00 !antona
Don't use string concatenation with __FUNCTION__ as gcc-3.x don't like it.

2002/07/05 21:15:31-00:00 !uid28698
- Enable enumeration of attributes using ntfs_lookup_attr() which is
  requested by passing a type of AT_UNUSED (or simply zero) to
  ntfs_lookup_attr(). (Based on initial patch by Szakacsits Szabolcs.)
- Fix two minor buglets in ntfs_find_external_attr() where we would
  continue the search when we detect a mismatched type and/or name
  instead of aborting and returning error EIO to flag the corruption.

2002/07/02 23:47:10-00:00 !antona
Global replacement of __[su]{8,16,32,64} with [su]{8,16,32,64} and layout.h define it.

2002/04/29 01:53:55-00:00 !antona
Loads of stuff. Improvements, start on attr pread and attr mst_pread. Write to follow. ntfslabel cleanup and extensions. libntfs cleanups, fixes, etc.

2002/04/28 21:59:11-00:00 !antona
Cleanup.

ntfslabel - Coverted stoucs to ntfs_mbstoucs()
	  - code cleanup
	  - better error checking
unistr.c  - removed size_t casts from ntfs_mbstoucs()

2002/04/18 17:20:05-00:00 !antona
New API function provided by unistr.[ch]: ntfs_mbstoucs()

2002/04/16 20:56:01-00:00 !antona
Add new API unistr.[ch]: ntfs_ucstombs() and make ntfslabel use it

2002/04/16 15:34:32-00:00 !antona
Fix the library...

2002/04/15 20:04:27-00:00 !antona
Fix all compiler warnings that came up with -Wall. Enabled -Wall for ./configure --enable-debug everywhere. Fix a few bugs in mkntfs that came up in the warnings (just error code paths, nothing major).

2002/04/14 14:08:30-00:00 !antona
Cleanup library code. Throw away unused stuff.

2001/06/09 16:31:13-00:00 !antona
mkntfs alpha release is here! Yey!
The only thing I am worried about is the fact that the system call to get the
number of sectors on the device returns a value rounded to the nearest 1024
bytes (converted to 512 byte blocks) thus we might be writting the backup boot
sector too early instead of on the real last sector but there is nothing I can
do apart from starting to play games like accessing the main device for hds
instead of the partition device which wouldn't help in the case of the last
partition though... Alternatively have to place the backup boot sector in the
middle of the disk like WinNT3.51 and earlier did but I need an image to see
exactly how they did it and even then we have the problem of not knowing where
the middle of the disk is as we don't really know how many sectors there are
for real with Linux kernel lying to us.

mkntfs delayed. more reverse engineering required to determine exact method of
index entry collation. first few helper functions are already done and entered
into ntfslib in unistr.c

2001/06/01 02:07:26-00:00 !antona
It has been a long time since last commit. At moment have done a lot of work
on mkntfs but also at the moment ntfsfix and ntfsdump_logfile and libntfs are
broken. Basically only mkntfs works and that is not complete either.

2001/04/08 03:02:55-00:00 !antona
Added cvs Id header.

2001/04/02 02:04:37-00:00 !antona
Everything compiles again! Yey! (Don't know about working though, haven't tried
it... So be careful...)
The definitely final find_{first_}attr() functions are in place. Currently
still no support for attribute lists.
The two new _RE files contain the C-fied and more or less (more less than more
actually) cleaned up functions from the ntfs driver. Once they are cleaned
up (find_attr() is already completed but I left it in the _RE files for future
reference/educational value) and modified to suit my ideas of how they should
work, which are not quite the same as the driver way, they will make it into
attrib.[ch].
If anyone gives the new code a try, I would be interested in whether it worked
or not... (-;

2001/03/31 15:27:34-00:00 !antona
Added new name comparison function.

2001/03/07 01:17:33-00:00 !antona
Renamed the unicode files and introduced more code. Finished the new
find_first/next_attr() interface functions. Next on my list are functions
supporting attribute lists...

(Logical change 1.5)

Linux-NTFS
==========

The Linux-NTFS project aims to bring full support for the NTFS filesystem to
the Linux operating system.

Linux-NTFS is copyright (c) 2000-2002 Anton Altaparmakov.

All of the contents of the Linux-NTFS project are free software, released under
the GNU General Public License and you are welcome to redistribute them under
certain conditions.
All the libraries and utilities come with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details
read the GNU General Public License to be found in the file COPYING in the main
Linux-NTFS distribution directory.
 
Linux-NTFS currently consists of the NTFS library (libntfs) and utilities
(ntfstools). In the future it will also contain a new NTFS driver for the
Linux kernel.

The Linux-NTFS project is registered on Sourceforge.net. The home page for
Linux-NTFS is http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/ and the project page is:
http://sf.net/projects/linux-ntfs/

If you would like to take part in the development of Linux-NTFS, you are
invited to subscribe to the development mailing list,
linux-ntfs-dev@lists.sourceforge.net. The easiest way to do this is to visit
the list page on sourceforge at:
	http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-ntfs-dev

If you would like to be kept up to date about new releases and other Linux-NTFS
announcements, subscribe to the linux-ntfs-announce mailing list (very low
volume). The easiest way to do this is to visit the list page on sourceforge at:

NTFS library
============

Provides common NTFS access functions to the ntfstools and other foreign
open source applications. Note, that the library is still under heavy
development and doesn't include the majority of functionality yet. It only
is capable of just about supporting the current ntfstools, so I wouldn't 
recommend using it for your own applications at this stage.

NTFS utilities
==============

The ntfstools will eventually include utilities for doing all required tasks
to NTFS partitions. In general, just run a utility without any command line
options to display the version number and usage syntax.

The following utilities are so far implemented:

NtfsFix - Attempt to fix an NTFS partition that has been damaged by the Linux
NTFS driver. Note that you should run it every time after you have used the
Linux NTFS driver to write to an NTFS partition to prevent massive data
corruption from happening when Windows mounts the partition.
IMPORTANT: Run this only *after* unmounting the partition in Linux but *before*
rebooting into Windows NT/2000 or you *will* suffer! - You have been warned!
See man 8 ntfsfix for details.

mkntfs - Format a partition with the NTFS filesystem. See man 8 mkntfs for
command line options.

ntfslabel - Display/change the label of an NTFS partition. See man 8 ntfslabel
for details.

ntfsundelete - Recover deleted files from an NTFS volume.  See man 8
ntfsundelete for more details.
