Data streams are a way to store data in a way that is hidden from general use. It isn't used very much but isn't hard to implement. If you don't know what it is why do you want to use it with batch?

Thank you, but cam you explain its use yourself?

Its a way to hide data that isn't visible unless you know the name of the stream. I've never tried to use it in a batch file though. It's called alternate data streams. Some programs use it, most don't. There is software available that detects the presence of alternate data streams if you're interested.

Yes. It is used to store date modified etc. In files. I read it on Microsoft.

First reason :
To hide data like a password or a secret message 😝
or
Second reason :
To execute a malcious code 😈 🤭 😏

Another fact about file streams is that they do occupy space on the hard drive, but their occupied space can be detected only by checking the free space.
