* \brief Acess VFS Layer
+ *
+ * The Acess Virtual File System (VFS) provides abstraction of multiple
+ * physical filesystems, network storage and devices (both hardware and
+ * virtual) to the user.
+ *
+ * The core of the VFS is the concept of a \ref tVFS_Node "VFS Node".
+ * A VFS Node represents a "file" in the VFS tree, this can be any sort
+ * of file (an ordinary file, a directory, a symbolic link or a device)
+ * depending on the bits set in the \ref tVFS_Node.Flags Flags field.
+ * - For more information see "VFS Node Flags"
