boolean
cached
Required
Indicates whether the file is on disk or not.
string

Required
The name of the file. This value will be unique within the library item for each file. It cannot be an empty string.
integer
size
Required
The file size, in bytes. The file size is the storage used and not the uploaded or provisioned size. For example, when uploading a disk to a datastore, the amount of storage that the disk consumes may be different from the disk file size. When the file is not cached, the size is 0.
storage_backing
Required
The storage backing on which this object resides. This might not be the same as the default storage backing associated with the library.
array of
string
storage_uris
Required
URIs that identify the file on the storage backing. These URIs may be specific to the backing and may need interpretation by the client. A client that understands a URI scheme in this list may use that URI to directly access the file on the storage backing. This can provide high-performance support for file manipulation.
string
version
Required
The version of this file; incremented when a new copy of the file is uploaded.
checksum_info
Optional
A checksum for validating the content of the file. This value can be used to verify that a transfer was completed without errors.
A checksum cannot always be calculated, and the value will be unset if the file does not have content.
