Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
Required
storage_backing	storage_backing	The storage backing on which this object resides.
storage_uris	URI[]	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.
name	string	The name of the file. This value will be unique within the library item for each file. It cannot be an empty string.
size	long	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.
cached	boolean	Indicates whether the file is on disk or not.
version	string	The version of this file; incremented when a new copy of the file is uploaded.
Optional
checksum_info	checksum_info	A checksum for validating the content of the file. This value can be used to verify that a transfer was completed without errors. Optional. A checksum cannot always be calculated, and the value will be unset if the file does not have content.
