Content Status

When Truxton processes the contents of a file, several things can happen. These defined constants represent the states of the contents of a file in Truxton.

Name	Value	Meaning
CONTENT_STATUS_UNKNOWN	0	We don't know what the status of the contents is.
CONTENT_STATUS_ORIGINAL	1	The contents came from the source media.
CONTENT_STATUS_VALID_DATA_LENGTH	2	In NTFS, space for a file can be allocated on the filesystem but not yet written to. The Valid Data Length is the offset into the file where the last byte was written.
CONTENT_STATUS_SPARSE_COLLAPSED	3	The contents are the non-spare regions of the file.
CONTENT_STATUS_ELIMINATED_BY_HASH	4	The contents were eliminated because the hash of the contents was found in a hash set.
CONTENT_STATUS_COPY_ELIMINATED	5	The contents are a copy of another file and therefore not stored.
CONTENT_STATUS_NOT_EXPORTED	6	When importing media from another Truxton instance, the contents were not exported by that other instance of Truxton.
CONTENT_STATUS_ELIMINATED_EMPTY	7	The file had an entropy of zero. Since it contains no information, the bytes were eliminated.
CONTENT_STATUS_LENGTH_NEEDS_RECALCULATING	99	This value is used during carving to calculate file lengths that span freespace regions.
