<title>NTFS Directories</title>
The NTFS directory is an index of file names. An NTFS index consists of
<a href=indexroot.html>index root</a>,
<a href=indexallocation.html>index allocation</a>, and
<a href=abitmap.html>bitmap</a> attributes. Each attribute is named "$I30",
probably because it the index is for the attribute <a href=data.html>30</a>.
The entries in the directory are ordered alphabetically. All entries are
converted to upper case before sorting. Upper case is defined by the file
<a href=UpCase.html>$UpCase</a>. Each entry can point to 
<a href=indexallocation.html>index buffer</a>, which contains more entries
that come before this entry. One artificial entry mark the end of an entry
list.
