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

[Brian C. <ca...@sl...>]

Do you have the latest version? The long name should be given in  
'path', but I think that behavior started only in the last few  
versions. That is of course, unless the long name does not exist for  
some reason (which could happen with deleted directories -- if the  
directory entries for the long name have been overwritten).
