If you want to group your file listing by storage (per storage unit) or arrange files into folders, you must dereference the \fCstorage_id\fP and/or \fCparent_id\fP field of the returned \fCLIBMTP_file_t\fP struct\&.

This function retrieves the metadata for a single file off the device\&.

Do not call this function repeatedly! The file handles are linearly searched O(n) and the call may involve (slow) USB traffic, so use \fC\fBLIBMTP_Get_Filelisting()\fP\fP and cache the file, preferably as an efficient data structure such as a hash list\&.
