## File Functions
Below is the list of defined metadata types. Undefined types may be used by clients, but are always mapped into the `blob` field.
These functions allow adding, deleting, and listing files stored on the users blockchain. Only metadata is actually stored on the blockchain.
| Type | Constant | Encoding | Info |
|------|----------------|----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 0 | TagName | Text | Mapped into Name field. Name of file. |
| 1 | TagFolder | Text | Mapped into Folder field. Folder name. |
| 2 | TagDescription | Text | Mapped into Description field. Arbitrary description of the file. May contain hashtags. |
| 3 | TagDateShared | Date | Mapped into Date field. When the file was published on the blockchain. Cannot be set manually (virtual read-only tag). |
| 4 | TagDateCreated | Date | Date when the file was originally created. |
