# AFP deleted-file Macintosh metadata
|
||||
|
||||
`AFP Get Macintosh Info On Deleted Files` is NetWare AFP subfunction `0x13`.
|
||||
Keep it documented as an unsupported, salvage-backend-dependent endpoint for the
|
||||
current AFP compatibility slice.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why this is not implemented directly
|
||||
|
||||
The request is not a normal path, name, or file-handle metadata query. It is
|
||||
keyed by a volume number and a DOS directory entry for a deleted Macintosh
|
||||
directory entry. The reply shape is also salvage-specific: Finder information,
|
||||
ProDOS information, resource fork size, and the deleted file name.
|
||||
|
||||
That means the AFP call is an adapter on top of NetWare salvage/deleted-entry
|
||||
state, not an independent AFP metadata lookup. Implementing it directly in the
|
||||
AFP handler would create a parallel deleted-file path and would violate the
|
||||
current rule that AFP endpoints reuse mars_nwe backend semantics.
|
||||
|
||||
## Required mars_nwe backend first
|
||||
|
||||
Before implementing AFP subfunction `0x13`, the normal NetWare salvage backend
|
||||
must exist and be verified. The relevant non-AFP NCP family is:
|
||||
|
||||
- `NCP 0x2222 / 87 / 16` - Scan Salvageable Files
|
||||
- `NCP 0x2222 / 87 / 17` - Recover Salvageable File
|
||||
- `NCP 0x2222 / 87 / 18` - Purge Salvageable File
|
||||
- optional legacy `NCP 0x2222 / 22 / 27` - Scan Salvageable File (old)
|
||||
|
||||
Once that backend is present, AFP `0x13` should only translate the WebSDK/NWAFP
|
||||
wire request to the mars_nwe salvage entry and then append AFP-specific deleted
|
||||
Macintosh metadata.
|
||||
|
||||
## Intended future mapping
|
||||
|
||||
When the salvage backend exists, AFP `0x13` should behave like this:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Validate the request volume and DOS directory entry.
|
||||
2. Look up the deleted entry through the mars_nwe salvage/deleted-entry backend.
|
||||
3. Return FinderInfo from the AFP metadata store when available, otherwise zeroes.
|
||||
4. Return ProDOS information as zeroes unless mars_nwe gains a real ProDOS store.
|
||||
5. Return resource fork size as zero while resource forks remain unsupported.
|
||||
6. Return the deleted file name from the salvage entry, not from a live path scan.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current audit status
|
||||
|
||||
Current status for the AFP inventory and final audit:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
0x13 AFP Get Macintosh Info On Deleted Files
|
||||
status: unsupported / final-audit item
|
||||
reason: requires mars_nwe salvage/deleted-entry backend first
|
||||
do not: implement a standalone AFP-local deleted-file scan
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This keeps the AFP implementation aligned with the rest of the current design:
|
||||
NetWare semantics come from mars_nwe core paths, while AFP-only metadata is kept
|
||||
small and explicit.
