# `BkFile`

    typedef struct BkFile
    {
        BkFileBase base; /* intended to be accessed using a cast */

        unsigned size; /* in bytes, don't need off_t because it's stored
                       * in a 32bit unsigned int on the iso */
        BkHardLink* location; /* basically a copy of the following variables */
        bool onImage;
        off_t position; /* if on image, in bytes */
        char* pathAndName; /* if on filesystem, full path + filename
                           * is to be freed whenever the File is freed */

    } BkFile;

`size` is the exact size of the file, whether it is from an original ISO or to be added from the filesystem.

`onImage` is true if the file contents are on the original ISO. It's false if the file is to be added from the regular filesystem.

`position` and `pathAndName` are unlikely to be interesting to you, but you can read them if you like - they record how exactly to access the file for reading. They are set in the reading or adding function.

`location` is definitely not interesting to you, it's used internally to work with hard links.
