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");

   FILETIME now;

   GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(&now);

   ULARGE_INTEGER ticks;

   ticks.LowPart = now.dwLowDateTime;
   ticks.HighPart = now.dwHighDateTime;

   truxton_child_file_set_created(child, ticks.QuadPart);
   truxton_child_file_set_accessed(child, ticks.QuadPart);
   truxton_child_file_set_modified(child, ticks.QuadPart);

   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 %d\n", count );
   }

   truxton_child_file_destroy(child);
}
