7 * \brief Acess VFS Layer
9 * The Acess Virtual File System (VFS) provides abstraction of multiple
10 * physical filesystems, network storage and devices (both hardware and
11 * virtual) to the user.
13 * The core of the VFS is the concept of a \ref tVFS_Node "VFS Node".
14 * A VFS Node represents a "file" in the VFS tree, this can be any sort
15 * of file (an ordinary file, a directory, a symbolic link or a device)
16 * depending on the bits set in the \ref tVFS_Node.Flags Flags field.
17 * - For more information see "VFS Node Flags"
25 * \brief Thread list datatype for VFS_Select
27 typedef struct sVFS_SelectList tVFS_SelectList;
30 * \name tVFS_Node Flags
31 * \brief Flag values for tVFS_Node.Flags
34 //! \todo Is this still needed
35 #define VFS_FFLAG_READONLY 0x01 //!< Readonly File
37 * \brief Directory Flag
39 * This flag marks the tVFS_Node as describing a directory, and says
40 * that the tVFS_Node.FindDir, tVFS_Node.ReadDir, tVFS_Node.MkNod and
41 * tVFS_Node.Relink function pointers are valid.
42 * For a directory the tVFS_Node.Size field contains the number of files
43 * within the directory, or -1 for undetermined.
45 #define VFS_FFLAG_DIRECTORY 0x02
47 * \brief Symbolic Link Flag
49 * Marks a file as a symbolic link
51 #define VFS_FFLAG_SYMLINK 0x04
53 * \brief Set User ID Flag
55 * Allows an executable file to change it's executing user to the file's
57 * In the case of a directory, it means that all immediate children will
58 * inherit the UID of the parent.
60 #define VFS_FFLAG_SETUID 0x08
62 * \brief Set Group ID Flag
64 * Allows an executable file to change it's executing group to the file's
66 * In the case of a directory, it means that all immediate children will
67 * inherit the GID of the parent.
69 #define VFS_FFLAG_SETGID 0x10
72 * \brief "Don't do Write-Back" Flag
74 * Stops the VFS from calling tVFS_Node.Write on dirty pages when a region
75 * is unmapped. Nice for read-only files and memory-only files (or
76 * pseudo-readonly filesystems)
78 #define VFS_FFLAG_NOWRITEBACK
