如何使用c ++读取ntfs主文件表

Question

I want to enumerate all the files on a disk. I am using WinAPI FindFirst/FindNext for enumeration. But this method is taking a alot of time. I read somewhere that we can enumerate very fast by reading the ntfs master file table which contains all the information regarding every file on the disk. Is there any API or some method in c++ to read the ntfs master table?

Answer 1

There is no C++ library functionality which would be OS specific, since this would not run on other platforms, or against other file systems.

What you are really looking for is Windows API functions, not std C++ library functions.

Your best source for that kind of information might be the the Linux NTFS file system driver which is actually a Linux user space file system.
