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 * \name tVFS_Node Flags
26 * \brief Flag values for tVFS_Node.Flags
29 //! \todo Is this still needed
30 #define VFS_FFLAG_READONLY 0x01 //!< Readonly File
32 * \brief Directory Flag
34 * This flag marks the tVFS_Node as describing a directory, and says
35 * that the tVFS_Node.FindDir, tVFS_Node.ReadDir, tVFS_Node.MkNod and
36 * tVFS_Node.Relink function pointers are valid.
37 * For a directory the tVFS_Node.Size field contains the number of files
38 * within the directory, or -1 for undetermined.
40 #define VFS_FFLAG_DIRECTORY 0x02
42 * \brief Symbolic Link Flag
44 * Marks a file as a symbolic link
46 #define VFS_FFLAG_SYMLINK 0x04
48 * \brief Set User ID Flag
50 * Allows an executable file to change it's executing user to the file's
52 * In the case of a directory, it means that all immediate children will
53 * inherit the UID of the parent.
55 #define VFS_FFLAG_SETUID 0x08
57 * \brief Set Group ID Flag
59 * Allows an executable file to change it's executing group to the file's
61 * In the case of a directory, it means that all immediate children will
62 * inherit the GID of the parent.
64 #define VFS_FFLAG_SETGID 0x10
72 * This structure provides the VFS with the functions required to read/write
73 * the file (or directory) that it represents.
