Truxton child file get number of children

This retrieves the number of children of this child file object. This corresponds to the [NumberOfChildren] column of the [File] table.

Syntax

uint32_t truxton_child_file_get_number_of_children( uint64_t child_handle );

Parameters

child_handle

The handle created by the truxton_child_file_create or truxton_file_create_child call.

Return value

The number of children of this file.

Remarks

Remember, not just directories can have child files. Files can have children too. Consider the Zip file. The children of a Zip archive are the files that were extracted from that Zip.

Sample

void add_folder( uint64_t truxton, uint64_t parent_file )
{
   truxton_start_adding_files( truxton );

   uint64_t child = truxton_child_file_create( truxton );

   char id[40];

   truxton_file_get_id( parent_file, id, sizeof(id) );
   truxton_child_file_set_parent_id( child, id );
   truxton_child_file_set_type( child, Type_Directory );
   truxton_child_file_set_name( child, "Custom Exploits Folder" );

   uint64_t now = truxton_time_now();

   truxton_child_file_set_created( child, now );
   truxton_child_file_set_accessed( child, now );
   truxton_child_file_set_modified( child, now );

   truxton_child_file_set_origin( child, ORIGIN_GENERATED );

   if ( truxton_child_file_save( child ) == 0 )
   {
      printf( "Failed to add child to Truxton\n" );
   }
   else
   {
      uint32_t count = truxton_child_file_get_number_of_children( child_file );
      printf( "Child count is %" PRIu32 "\n", count );
   }

   truxton_child_file_destroy( child );
}

The PRIu32 in the sample code above is a standard way of formatting a 32-bit unsigned integer in C. Over the years, different compilers on different operating systems used different format specifiers for things, these PRI macros, along with some tricky string concatenation the compilers perform for you, allow you to maintain a single code base without a bunch of macro magic.
