Synopsis
#include <opensc.h>
typedef struct sc_file {

/* record structured files only */

} sc_file_t;
Description
This structure describes a file object on a smart card. It contains the following members:
path
This is full the path to the file, starting at the MF.
type
This is the file type. It can be one of SC_FILE_TYPE_DF,
SC_FILE_TYPE_WORKING_EF, or SC_FILE_TYPE_INTERNAL_EF.
The latter is used by some cards only, and you normally shouldn't have to deal with these
files.
ef_structure
For elementary files (EFs), this field describes the file's structure.
It can be one of:
SC_FILE_EF_TRANSPARENT
SC_FILE_EF_LINEAR_FIXED
SC_FILE_EF_LINEAR_FIXED_TLV
SC_FILE_EF_LINEAR_VARIABLE
SC_FILE_EF_LINEAR_VARIABLE_TLV
SC_FILE_EF_CYCLIC
SC_FILE_EF_CYCLIC_TLV
SC_FILE_EF_UNKNOWN
size
gives the file's size in bytes.
id
gives the file's ID, as a 16-bit number.
record_count, record_length
For record structured files, record_sount
specifies the number of records in the file. For files with fixed length records,
record_length contains the record length.
