Public Class methods

best_fit(file_system_image,filename,contents,file_type=nil,aux_code=nil)

given metadata and contents of a file from a file system image, return an instance of the NativeFileType subclass that is the closest match

Public Instance methods

full_filename()

some filesystems differentiate between full and partial filenames. e.g. in ProDOS the ‘full’ filename includes the full path by default, full_filename is the same as filename, but can be overridden for those filesystems that need this

header_length()

how many bytes should be skipped to get to the file data?

type_description()

how should this file be described in a catalog list?
