The ``file.data`` sticky buffer matches on contents of files that are

be used (e.g. ``startswith``, ``nocase`` and ``bsize``) with ``file.data``.
Example::
alert smtp any any -> any any (msg:"smtp app layer file.data example"; \
file.data; content:"example file content"; sid:1; rev:1)
alert http any any -> any any (msg:"http app layer file.data example"; \
file.data; content:"example file content"; sid:2; rev:1)
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"tcp file.data example"; \
file.data; content:"example file content"; sid:4; rev:1)
**Note** file_data is the legacy notation but can still be used.
file.name
