Placeholder from entry kind

This page is generated from the code and must not be edited by hand.

A shortcut, or a file that claims a size but takes up no room on the disk, is taken to stand in for contents kept somewhere else.

placeholder_from_entry_kind version 1

• Kind of rule: What files are (classifies). Says what a file or a folder is, by placing it in a class.

• What it concludes: a class

• Reasoning: defeasible. A conclusion is usually right, and is retracted when a rule it names concludes against it.

• What it reads: one file at a time

Is it available in this version?

Yes, the engine runs it. It publishes no conclusion yet: it names nothing that would defeat its conclusions, and a rule of this kind may not publish a conclusion that nothing could retract.

What would defeat it

It names no rule whose conclusion would defeat it.

This rule is named as what would defeat:

• copies_a_person_answered

• earliest_credible_time

• experiments_approved_together

• group_resolved_across_experiments

• group_resolved_within_experiment

• group_series_across_experiments

• name_family_without_stages

• named_for_a_series

• named_for_an_acquisition

• one_name_in_sibling_folders

• replicates_of_one_condition

• roi_archive_from_members

• same_array_shape

• same_column_schema

• same_name_identity

• same_name_identity_within_experiment

Parameters

Parameter	Shipped value	May be	What it does
detect_stubs	true	yes or no	Whether to read a file occupying no blocks as a stub. The link half is what the filesystem says and needs no setting; this half is a heuristic and is separable from it.
minimum_declared_bytes	1	whole number, from 1 to 1099511627776	How much a file must claim before occupying nothing is read as a stub rather than as an ordinary empty file.
