[REBOL] Re: NTFS Stream Fun
From: kemp:extelligence at: 6-Aug-2002 13:15
Streams are part of Windows/NTFS Structured Storage, and are used to support
a number of specialized file formats. For example, Kodak's Flashpix image
format uses structured storage streams to hold thumbnails, full images, and
various mangifications in-between, with each level of resultion being tiled
into it's own stream. On top of that, it stores standard and custom metadata
in other streams. All of this is related and inseparable, and streams allow
it to go nicely into one file without having to parse through stuff you
don't always need or shouldn't see.
