get_file_metadata_size Method

Retrieves the size of the metadata associated with a vault item.

Syntax

def get_file_metadata_size(file_name: str) -> int: ...

Remarks

This method retrieves the size of the metadata associated with the vault item (file, directory, symbolic link, or alternate stream) specified by FileName.

A vault item's metadata size reflects the total size of all vault pages associated with it which do not contain actual file/stream data; this includes file tags (both internal and application-defined), index pages, B-trees, and all other "filesystem information".

The value passed for FileName must be a vault-local absolute path.

Note: This method can only be called when active is True.
