 For files that are comprised of more than a single block, the 'Type' field will be set to 'File', the 'filesize' field will be set to the total number of bytes in the file (not the graph structure) represented by this node, and 'blocksizes' will contain a list of the filesizes of each child node.

+This data is serialized and placed inside the 'Data' _Bytes_ node of the containing IPLD block, which also contains the actual links to the child nodes of this object in a 'Links' _List_ node. Typically this is encoded using the [DAG-PB](https://ipld.io/specs/codecs/dag-pb/spec/) codec. An implementations of this UnixFS specification may opt to strictly link DAG-PB to UnixFS for encoding and/or decoding as this is the originally intended layering of this format. For this reason, producers of UnixFS data that do not use DAG-PB as its codec should not expect other implementations of UnixFS to be able to interpret the data.
