This seems surprising! Could you elaborate on what's going on here? E.g. how come this test is only enabled for Windows?

In windows NTFS), every file name maps to multiple actual files called streams. By default, reading/writing/deleting operates on the "anonymous" stream but you can operate on other streams. Alternate streams are kind of like extended attributes but more flexible.

I made the test specific to Windows since it depends on file streams which are specific to NTFS, and Windows is the only OS we support that consistently uses NTFS. Also, it depends on the implementation properly copying over all the file streams, which the manual implementation does not do, so even if another OS did support NTFS file streams, this test would fail on such an OS at the moment.

To elaborate further on what's going on, I'm creating the file
in.txt
but instead of writing to the default data stream, I'm instead writing to thebunny
stream.If I copy the file to a new location it brings all the streams with it, and the number of bytes copied (what I assume the return value from
fs::copy
means) is the same as the number of bytes I wrote to thebunny
stream since its the only stream with data.When getting the size of the file, I'm getting that information on the default data stream, which is empty so its size is 0. If I wanted information on the other streams I'd have to explicitly specify them by name.

Cool, thanks for the explanations!
