The FILEFINDBUF2 structure contains file information.
Member           Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
fdateCreation    Specifies the date the file was created.
 
ftimeCreation    Specifies the time the file was created.
 
fdateLastAccess  Specifies the date the file was last opened.
 
ftimeLastAccess  Specifies the time the file was last opened.
 
fdateLastWrite   Specifies the date the file was last written to.
 
ftimeLastWrite   Specifies the time the file was last written to.
 
cbFile           Specifies the size (in bytes) of the file.
 
cbFileAlloc      Specifies the number of bytes allocated for the file on the
                 storage device.
 
attrFile         Specifies the file attributes. This member can be a
                 combination of the following values.
 
                 Value  Meaning
                 ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
                 0      File can be read from or written to.
 
                 1      File can be read from but not written to.
 
                 2      File or directory is hidden and does not appear in a
                        directory listing.
 
                 4      File or directory is a system file.
 
                 8      Filename is the current volume label for the media.
 
                 16     Filename identifies a directory not a file.
 
                 32     File has been archived.
 
cbList           Specifies the size (in bytes) of the buffer for extended
                 attributes.
 
cchName          Specifies the number of characters in the filename.
 
achName          Specifies the name of the file. This member contains a
                 null-terminated filename having the number of characters
                 specified by the cchName member.
 
Comments
 
File Manager uses the values in the fdateLastWrite and ftimeLastWrite
members when it displays the date and time for a given file; it ignores the
other date and time values. Also, File Manager use the cbFile member as the
file size, ignoring cbFileAlloc and cbList.
 
File Manager assumes that the achName member is truncated to just the length
of the filename and the zero terminator. For example, if another
FILEFINDBUF2 structure immediately follows the first, the pointer to the
second structure is computed as follows:
 
(PFILEFINDBUF2)((LPSTR)lpFindBuf + sizeof(FILEFINDBUF2) -
CCHMAXPATHCOMP + lpFindBuf->cchName + 1)
