Declared in "libtorrent/storage_defs.hpp"
struct storage_params { storage_params (file_storage const& f, file_storage const* mf , std::string const& sp, storage_mode_t const sm , aux::vector<download_priority_t, file_index_t> const& prio , sha1_hash const& ih); file_storage const& files; file_storage const* mapped_files = nullptr; std::string const& path; storage_mode_t mode {storage_mode_sparse}; aux::vector<download_priority_t, file_index_t> const& priorities; sha1_hash const& info_hash; };[report issue]
file_slice
Declared in "libtorrent/file_storage.hpp"
represents a window of a file in a torrent.
The file_index refers to the index of the file (in the torrent_info). To get the path and filename, use file_path() and give the file_index as argument. The offset is the byte offset in the file where the range starts, and size is the number of bytes this range is. The size + offset will never be greater than the file size.
struct file_slice { file_index_t file_index; std::int64_t offset; std::int64_t size; };[report issue]

file_storage
Declared in "libtorrent/file_storage.hpp"
The file_storage class represents a file list and the piece size. Everything necessary to interpret a regular bittorrent storage file structure.
class file_storage { bool is_valid () const; void reserve (int num_files); void add_file (std::string const& path, std::int64_t file_size , file_flags_t file_flags = {} , std::time_t mtime = 0, string_view symlink_path = string_view()); void add_file_borrow (string_view filename , std::string const& path, std::int64_t file_size , file_flags_t file_flags = {}, char const* filehash = nullptr , std::int64_t mtime = 0, string_view symlink_path = string_view()); void rename_file (file_index_t index, std::string const& new_filename); std::vector<file_slice> map_block (piece_index_t piece, std::int64_t offset , int size) const; peer_request map_file (file_index_t file, std::int64_t offset, int size) const; int num_files () const noexcept; file_index_t end_file () const noexcept; index_range<file_index_t> file_range () const noexcept; std::int64_t total_size () const; int num_pieces () const; void set_num_pieces (int n); piece_index_t end_piece () const; piece_index_t last_piece () const; index_range<piece_index_t> piece_range () const noexcept; void set_piece_length (int l); int piece_length () const; int piece_size (piece_index_t index) const; std::string const& name () const; void set_name (std::string const& n); void swap (file_storage& ti) noexcept; void optimize (int pad_file_limit = -1, int alignment = -1 , bool tail_padding = false); string_view file_name (file_index_t index) const; std::int64_t file_size (file_index_t index) const; bool pad_file_at (file_index_t index) const; std::string file_path (file_index_t index, std::string const& save_path = "") const; sha1_hash hash (file_index_t index) const; std::time_t mtime (file_index_t index) const; std::string const& symlink (file_index_t index) const; std::int64_t file_offset (file_index_t index) const; std::uint32_t file_path_hash (file_index_t index, std::string const& save_path) const; void all_path_hashes (std::unordered_set<std::uint32_t>& table) const; std::vector<std::string> const& paths () const; file_flags_t file_flags (file_index_t index) const; bool file_absolute_path (file_index_t index) const; file_index_t file_index_at_offset (std::int64_t offset) const; char const* file_name_ptr (file_index_t index) const; int file_name_len (file_index_t index) const; void apply_pointer_offset (std::ptrdiff_t off); void sanitize_symlinks (); static constexpr file_flags_t flag_pad_file = 0_bit; static constexpr file_flags_t flag_hidden = 1_bit; static constexpr file_flags_t flag_executable = 2_bit; static constexpr file_flags_t flag_symlink = 3_bit; };[report issue]
is_valid()
bool is_valid () const;
returns true if the piece length has been initialized on the file_storage. This is typically taken as a proxy of whether the file_storage as a whole is initialized or not.
[report issue]reserve()
void reserve (int num_files);
allocates space for num_files in the internal file list. This can be used to avoid reallocating the internal file list when the number of files to be added is known up-front.
[report issue]add_file_borrow() add_file()
void add_file (std::string const& path, std::int64_t file_size , file_flags_t file_flags = {} , std::time_t mtime = 0, string_view symlink_path = string_view()); void add_file_borrow (string_view filename , std::string const& path, std::int64_t file_size , file_flags_t file_flags = {}, char const* filehash = nullptr , std::int64_t mtime = 0, string_view symlink_path = string_view());
Adds a file to the file storage. The add_file_borrow version expects that filename is the file name (without a path) of the file that's being added. This memory is borrowed, i.e. it is the caller's responsibility to make sure it stays valid throughout the lifetime of this file_storage object or any copy of it. The same thing applies to filehash, which is an optional pointer to a 20 byte binary SHA-1 hash of the file.
if filename is empty, the filename from path is used and not borrowed.
The path argument is the full path (in the torrent file) to the file to add. Note that this is not supposed to be an absolute path, but it is expected to include the name of the torrent as the first path element.
file_size is the size of the file in bytes.
The file_flags argument sets attributes on the file. The file attributes is an extension and may not work in all bittorrent clients.
For possible file attributes, see file_storage::flags_t.
The mtime argument is optional and can be set to 0. If non-zero, it is the posix time of the last modification time of this file.
symlink_path is the path the file is a symlink to. To make this a symlink you also need to set the file_storage::flag_symlink file flag.
If more files than one are added, certain restrictions to their paths apply. In a multi-file file storage (torrent), all files must share the same root directory.
That is, the first path element of all files must be the same. This shared path element is also set to the name of the torrent. It can be changed by calling set_name.
[report issue]rename_file()
void rename_file (file_index_t index, std::string const& new_filename);
renames the file at index to new_filename. Keep in mind that filenames are expected to be UTF-8 encoded.
[report issue]map_block()
std::vector<file_slice> map_block (piece_index_t piece, std::int64_t offset , int size) const;
returns a list of file_slice objects representing the portions of files the specified piece index, byte offset and size range overlaps. this is the inverse mapping of map_file().
Preconditions of this function is that the input range is within the torrents address space. piece may not be negative and
piece * piece_size + offset + size
may not exceed the total size of the torrent.
[report issue]map_file()
peer_request map_file (file_index_t file, std::int64_t offset, int size) const;
returns a peer_request representing the piece index, byte offset and size the specified file range overlaps. This is the inverse mapping over map_block(). Note that the peer_request return type is meant to hold bittorrent block requests, which may not be larger than 16 kiB. Mapping a range larger than that may return an overflown integer.
[report issue]num_files()
int num_files () const noexcept;
returns the number of files in the file_storage
[report issue]end_file()
file_index_t end_file () const noexcept;
returns the index of the one-past-end file in the file storage
[report issue]file_range()
index_range<file_index_t> file_range () const noexcept;
returns an implementation-defined type that can be used as the container in a range-for loop. Where the values are the indices of all files in the file_storage.
[report issue]total_size()
std::int64_t total_size () const;
returns the total number of bytes all the files in this torrent spans
[report issue]set_num_pieces() num_pieces()
int num_pieces () const; void set_num_pieces (int n);
set and get the number of pieces in the torrent
[report issue]end_piece()
piece_index_t end_piece () const;
returns the index of the one-past-end piece in the file storage
[report issue]last_piece()
piece_index_t last_piece () const;
returns the index of the last piece in the torrent. The last piece is special in that it may be smaller than the other pieces (and the other pieces are all the same size).
[report issue]piece_range()
index_range<piece_index_t> piece_range () const noexcept;
returns an implementation-defined type that can be used as the container in a range-for loop. Where the values are the indices of all pieces in the file_storage.
[report issue]piece_length() set_piece_length()
void set_piece_length (int l); int piece_length () const;
set and get the size of each piece in this torrent. This size is typically an even power of 2. It doesn't have to be though. It should be divisible by 16 kiB however.
[report issue]piece_size()
int piece_size (piece_index_t index) const;
returns the piece size of index. This will be the same as piece_length(), except for the last piece, which may be shorter.
[report issue]name() set_name()
std::string const& name () const; void set_name (std::string const& n);
set and get the name of this torrent. For multi-file torrents, this is also the name of the root directory all the files are stored in.
[report issue]optimize()
void optimize (int pad_file_limit = -1, int alignment = -1 , bool tail_padding = false);
if pad_file_limit >= 0, files larger than that limit will be padded, default is to not add any padding (-1). The alignment specifies the alignment files should be padded to. This defaults to the piece size (-1) but it may also make sense to set it to 16 kiB, or something divisible by 16 kiB. If pad_file_limit is 0, every file will be padded (except empty ones). tail_padding indicates whether aligned files also are padded at the end to make them end aligned. This is required for mutable torrents, since piece hashes are compared
[report issue]mtime() symlink() pad_file_at() file_name() file_path() hash() file_offset() file_size()
string_view file_name (file_index_t index) const; std::int64_t file_size (file_index_t index) const; bool pad_file_at (file_index_t index) const; std::string file_path (file_index_t index, std::string const& save_path = "") const; sha1_hash hash (file_index_t index) const; std::time_t mtime (file_index_t index) const; std::string const& symlink (file_index_t index) const; std::int64_t file_offset (file_index_t index) const;
These functions are used to query attributes of files at a given index.
The hash() is a SHA-1 hash of the file, or 0 if none was provided in the torrent file. This can potentially be used to join a bittorrent network with other file sharing networks.
The mtime() is the modification time is the posix time when a file was last modified when the torrent was created, or 0 if it was not included in the torrent file.
file_path() returns the full path to a file.
file_size() returns the size of a file.
pad_file_at() returns true if the file at the given index is a pad-file.
file_name() returns just the name of the file, whereas file_path() returns the path (inside the torrent file) with the filename appended.
file_offset() returns the byte offset within the torrent file where this file starts. It can be used to map the file to a piece index (given the piece size).
[report issue]file_path_hash()
std::uint32_t file_path_hash (file_index_t index, std::string const& save_path) const;
returns the crc32 hash of file_path(index)
[report issue]all_path_hashes()
void all_path_hashes (std::unordered_set<std::uint32_t>& table) const;
this will add the CRC32 hash of all directory entries to the table. No filename will be included, just directories. Every depth of directories are added separately to allow test for collisions with files at all levels. i.e. if one path in the torrent is foo/bar/baz, the CRC32 hashes for foo, foo/bar and foo/bar/baz will be added to the set.
[report issue]paths()
std::vector<std::string> const& paths () const;
returns all directories used in the torrent. Files in the torrent are located in one of these directories. This is not a tree, it's a flat list of all leaf directories. i.e. the union of the parent paths of all files.
[report issue]file_flags()
file_flags_t file_flags (file_index_t index) const;
returns a bitmask of flags from file_flags_t that apply to file at index.
[report issue]file_absolute_path()
bool file_absolute_path (file_index_t index) const;
returns true if the file at the specified index has been renamed to have an absolute path, i.e. is not anchored in the save path of the torrent.
[report issue]file_index_at_offset()
file_index_t file_index_at_offset (std::int64_t offset) const;
returns the index of the file at the given offset in the torrent
[report issue]file_name_ptr() file_name_len()
char const* file_name_ptr (file_index_t index) const; int file_name_len (file_index_t index) const;
low-level function. returns a pointer to the internal storage for the filename. This string may not be 0-terminated! the file_name_len() function returns the length of the filename. prefer to use file_name() instead, which returns a string_view.
[report issue]apply_pointer_offset()
void apply_pointer_offset (std::ptrdiff_t off);
if the backing buffer changed for this storage, this is the pointer offset to add to any pointers to make them point into the new buffer
[report issue]sanitize_symlinks()
void sanitize_symlinks ();
validate any symlinks, to ensure they all point to other files or directories inside this storage. Any invalid symlinks are updated to point to themselves.
[report issue]- flag_pad_file
- the file is a pad file. It's required to contain zeros at it will not be saved to disk. Its purpose is to make the following file start on a piece boundary.
- flag_hidden
- this file has the hidden attribute set. This is primarily a windows attribute
- flag_executable
- this file has the executable attribute set.
- flag_symlink
- this file is a symbolic link. It should have a link target string associated with it.
default_storage_constructor()
Declared in "libtorrent/storage_defs.hpp"
storage_interface* default_storage_constructor (storage_params const& , file_pool& p);
the constructor function for the regular file storage. This is the default value for add_torrent_params::storage.
[report issue]disabled_storage_constructor()
Declared in "libtorrent/storage_defs.hpp"
storage_interface* disabled_storage_constructor (storage_params const&, file_pool&);
the constructor function for the disabled storage. This can be used for testing and benchmarking. It will throw away any data written to it and return garbage for anything read from it.
