Accessor

Description

Access the NTFS filesystem by parsing NTFS structures.

This accessor is a variation of the ntfs accessor. It is a bit faster because it does not enumerate all the attributes in files contained in directories, instead relying only on the I30 index streams. This means it is unable to find Alternate Data Streams in directories (because ADS are not stored in the I30 stream).

Usually the extra performance is not worth these limitations since the ntfs accessor is pretty fast these days already.
