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"
26 * \brief Thread list datatype for VFS_Select
28 typedef struct sVFS_SelectList tVFS_SelectList;
30 typedef struct sVFS_NodeType tVFS_NodeType;
33 * \name tVFS_Node Flags
34 * \brief Flag values for tVFS_Node.Flags
37 //! \todo Is this still needed
38 #define VFS_FFLAG_READONLY 0x01 //!< Readonly File
40 * \brief Directory Flag
42 * This flag marks the tVFS_Node as describing a directory, and says
43 * that the tVFS_Node.FindDir, tVFS_Node.ReadDir, tVFS_Node.MkNod and
44 * tVFS_Node.Relink function pointers are valid.
45 * For a directory the tVFS_Node.Size field contains the number of files
46 * within the directory, or -1 for undetermined.
48 #define VFS_FFLAG_DIRECTORY 0x02
50 * \brief Symbolic Link Flag
52 * Marks a file as a symbolic link
54 #define VFS_FFLAG_SYMLINK 0x04
56 * \brief Set User ID Flag
58 * Allows an executable file to change it's executing user to the file's
60 * In the case of a directory, it means that all immediate children will
61 * inherit the UID of the parent.
63 #define VFS_FFLAG_SETUID 0x08
65 * \brief Set Group ID Flag
67 * Allows an executable file to change it's executing group to the file's
69 * In the case of a directory, it means that all immediate children will
70 * inherit the GID of the parent.
72 #define VFS_FFLAG_SETGID 0x10
75 * \brief "Don't do Write-Back" Flag
77 * Stops the VFS from calling tVFS_Node.Write on dirty pages when a region
78 * is unmapped. Nice for read-only files and memory-only files (or
79 * pseudo-readonly filesystems)
81 #define VFS_FFLAG_NOWRITEBACK 0x1000
84 * \brief "Dirty Metadata" Flag
86 * Indicates that the node's metadata has been altered since the flag was last
87 * cleared. Tells the driver that it should update the inode at the next flush.
89 #define VFS_FFLAG_DIRTY 0x8000
