pypff: Unexpected value `112` from file.content_type #131

Closed scanny closed 4 months ago

scanny commented 4 months ago

Summary In pypff, file.content_type produces unexpected integer value 112. Expected b'SM'.

To reproduce

>>> with open("Outlook.pst", rb) as f:
...     buf = read(10)
...
>>> buf[8:]
b'SM'

>>> f = pypff.open("Outlook.pst")
>>> f.content_type
112

I do note that asc(112) is 'p' and it occurred to me that might be short for PST or something, but based on the documentation of the file format I was expecting the bytes value b'SM'. https://github.com/libyal/libpff/blob/main/documentation/Personal%20Folder%20File%20(PFF)%20format.asciidoc#21-content-types

Can you advise whether this is a bug or whether I just missed the documentation for how file.content_type is encoded?

Ah, okay, writing this gave me an idea and I figured it out from the source:

LIBPFF_FILE_CONTENT_TYPE_PAB = (int) 'a', LIBPFF_FILE_CONTENT_TYPE_PST = (int) 'p', LIBPFF_FILE_CONTENT_TYPE_OST = (int) 'o'

Sorry to bother you and thanks for the library! :)
