• Bypoid mode: This mode will consider live and deleted files in query results. The JSON will
contain one stanza for poid. The system::poid value does not change when a file is
renamed/moved. This mode is appropriated for applications to use in order to trace file
changes. The disadvantage is that the JSON contains data used for internal control only.
The presence or absence of the "bypoid" parameter in the request determines the mode. In bypoid
mode, an HTTP error 409 Conflict will be returned when:
• system:deleteTime is requested and the query references any live file attribute, such as
system::size.
• A live file attribute is requested and the query references system::deleteTime.
The following attributes are considered common file attributes which are valid for live and deleted
files: system::path, system::poid, and system::lastActivityTime. As a special case,
system::deleteTime and system::lastActivityTime will always have exactly the same
value for deleted files.
