[sleuthkit-developers] retrieving full directory/path name from FS_DENT

[dave k. <ken...@gm...>]

hi..
I am using dent_walk to gain a list of files on an image, along with their
information.  I was grabbing the path of a particular file by accessing
fs_dent's 'path' variable- listed in fs_tools.h as the 'prefix to name when
recursing'.  It was working great..

Until I noticed that when looking at a FAT32 image (running on linux) that
particular variable seems to be only represented by the directory's short
name.  Is there any easy way to get the full name of a file's parent
directory, or will my solution in essence have to renavigate through all the
filenames again until I locate a directory with a matching shortname?

Thanks much..
