An Alternate (or multiple) data stream is additional data associated with a file system object. It is implemented in the HFS and NTFS file systems. An example of data that might be stored as an alternate data stream:
- image preview
- application icon
- document authorship information
Under NTFS, the alternate data stream is accessed by referring to filename:streamname. All the data associated with a file system object are stored as attributes in the master file table.
