This is technical documentation, created to help the programmer.
39
All the important information is near the top,
40
and there are lots of examples showing what the disk structures look like.
44
It was originally written to complement the
45
<a class="visible" href="http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net">Linux NTFS driver</a>.
49
The latest version is available online at:
51
<a class="visible" href="http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ntfs/index.html">http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ntfs/index.html</a>
53
and can be downloaded from:
55
<a class="visible" href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13956">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13956</a>
61
To make things easier to read, most links have been hidden.
62
The aim is to cross-link everything to everything else.
63
If you see a key word, you should be able to click on it.
67
If your browser supports "access keys" you may be able to navigate more swiftly.
68
Access keys 1 - 6 activate the six toolbar buttons,
69
and in the glossary A - Z jump to the appropriate letter of the list.
70
(Try <q>Alt-5</q>, for the glossary)
74
Additionally, you can use <q>Alt-Comma</q> and <q>Alt-Dot</q>
75
to activate <q>Prev</q> and <q>Next</q> respectively.
76
(Think of them as <q>Alt-<</q> and <q>Alt-></q>)
80
N.B. Some browsers may not use Alt, but a different key.
86
Microsoft hasn't released any documentation for NTFS.
87
These documents have been pieced together partly by carefully
88
reading all the SDKs and Windows help but mostly by
89
reverse-engineering the filesystem.
93
We're confident that the information is correct.
94
We think we know where there are gaps in our knowledge.
95
We may be wrong. Beware.

<h2>Contact Points</h2>
101
You can post questions to an open forum on
102
<a class="visible" href="http://www.sourceforge.net">SourceForge</a> at:

108
If you'd like to get more involved in the Linux project, then you can
109
join one of the mailing lists (both low volume). The first is a general
110
list for NTFS and the second, which isn't used much yet, is more technical.
