Usage

Note that the iterators created by parser.entries() and entry.attributes() may return RuntimeError objects if there was an error while trying to parse one of the attributes, so check them before continuing.

from mft import PyMftParser, PyMftAttributeX10, PyMftAttributeX30

def main():
    parser = PyMftParser("/Users/omerba/Workspace/pymft-rs/samples/MFT")
    for entry_or_error in parser.entries():
        if isinstance(entry_or_error, RuntimeError):
            continue

        print(f'Entry ID: {entry_or_error.entry_id}')

        for attribute_or_error in entry_or_error.attributes():
            if isinstance(attribute_or_error, RuntimeError):
                continue

            resident_content = attribute_or_error.attribute_content
            if resident_content:
                if isinstance(resident_content, PyMftAttributeX10):
                    print(f'Found an X10 attribute')
                    print(f'Modified: {resident_content.modified}')
                if isinstance(resident_content, PyMftAttributeX30):
                    print(f'Found an X30 attribute')
                    print(f'Modified: {resident_content.modified}')
                    print(f'Name: {resident_content.name}')

        print('--------------------------------')
