/**
* PhysicsFS; a portable, flexible file i/o abstraction.
*
* This API gives you access to a system file system in ways superior to the
* stdio or system i/o calls. The brief benefits:
*
* - It's portable.
* - It's safe. No file access is permitted outside the specified dirs.
* - It's flexible. Archives (.ZIP files) can be used transparently as
* directory structures.
*
* This system is largely inspired by Quake 3's PK3 files and the related
13
* fs_* cvars. If you've ever tinkered with these, then this API will be
14
15
* familiar to you.

* With PhysicsFS, you have a single writing directory and multiple
* directories (the "search path") for reading. You can think of this as a
* filesystem within a filesystem. If (on Windows) you were to set the
* writing directory to "C:\MyGame\MyWritingDirectory", then no PHYSFS calls
* could touch anything above this directory, including the "C:\MyGame" and
* "C:\" directories. This prevents an application's internal scripting
* language from piddling over c:\config.sys, for example. If you'd rather
* give PHYSFS full access to the system's REAL file system, set the writing
* dir to "C:\", but that's generally A Bad Thing for several reasons.
25
26
*
* Drive letters are hidden in PhysicsFS once you set up your initial paths.
27
* The search path creates a single, hierarchical directory structure.
28

31
32
33
34
* Not only does this lend itself well to general abstraction with archives,
* it also gives better support to operating systems like MacOS and Unix.
* Generally speaking, you shouldn't ever hardcode a drive letter; not only
* does this hurt portability to non-Microsoft OSes, but it limits your win32
* users to a single drive, too. Use the PhysicsFS abstraction functions and
* allow user-defined configuration options, too. When opening a file, you
* specify it like it was on a Unix filesystem: if you want to write to
35
* "C:\MyGame\MyConfigFiles\game.cfg", then you might set the write dir to
36
* "C:\MyGame" and then open "MyConfigFiles/game.cfg". This gives an
37
* abstraction across all platforms. Specifying a file in this way is termed
38
39
40
41
42
43
44
45
* "platform-independent notation" in this documentation. Specifying a
* a filename in a form such as "C:\mydir\myfile" or
* "MacOS hard drive:My Directory:My File" is termed "platform-dependent
* notation". The only time you use platform-dependent notation is when
* setting up your write directory and search path; after that, all file
* access into those directories are done with platform-independent notation.
*
* All files opened for writing are opened in relation to the write directory,
46
* which is the root of the writable filesystem. When opening a file for
47
* reading, PhysicsFS goes through the search path. This is NOT the
48
49
50
51
52
53
* same thing as the PATH environment variable. An application using
* PhysicsFS specifies directories to be searched which may be actual
* directories, or archive files that contain files and subdirectories of
* their own. See the end of these docs for currently supported archive
* formats.
*
54
* Once the search path is defined, you may open files for reading. If you've
55
56
57
58
59
60
61
* got the following search path defined (to use a win32 example again):
*
* C:\mygame
* C:\mygame\myuserfiles
* D:\mygamescdromdatafiles
* C:\mygame\installeddatafiles.zip
*
62
* Then a call to PHYSFS_openRead("textfiles/myfile.txt") (note the directory
63
64
65
* separator, lack of drive letter, and lack of dir separator at the start of
* the string; this is platform-independent notation) will check for
* C:\mygame\textfiles\myfile.txt, then
66
67
68
69
* C:\mygame\myuserfiles\textfiles\myfile.txt, then
* D:\mygamescdromdatafiles\textfiles\myfile.txt, then, finally, for
* textfiles\myfile.txt inside of C:\mygame\installeddatafiles.zip. Remember
* that most archive types and platform filesystems store their filenames in
70
* a case-sensitive manner, so you should be careful to specify it correctly.

* Files opened through PhysicsFS may NOT contain "." or ".." or ":" as dir
* elements. Not only are these meaningless on MacOS and/or Unix, they are a
* security hole. Also, symbolic links (which can be found in some archive
* types and directly in the filesystem on Unix platforms) are NOT followed
* until you call PHYSFS_permitSymbolicLinks(). That's left to your own
* discretion, as following a symlink can allow for access outside the write
* dir and search paths. There is no mechanism for creating new symlinks in
* PhysicsFS.
*
* The write dir is not included in the search path unless you specifically
* add it. While you CAN change the write dir as many times as you like,
* you should probably set it once and stick to it. Remember that your
* program will not have permission to write in every directory on Unix and
* NT systems.
86
87
88
*
* All files are opened in binary mode; there is no endline conversion for
* textfiles. Other than that, PhysicsFS has some convenience functions for
89
* platform-independence. There is a function to tell you the current
90
* platform's dir separator ("\\" on windows, "/" on Unix, ":" on MacOS),
91
92
93
* which is needed only to set up your search/write paths. There is a
* function to tell you what CD-ROM drives contain accessible discs, and a
* function to recommend a good search path, etc.
94
*
95
96
* A recommended order for the search path is the write dir, then the base dir,
* then the cdrom dir, then any archives discovered. Quake 3 does something
97
98
* like this, but moves the archives to the start of the search path. Build
* Engine games, like Duke Nukem 3D and Blood, place the archives last, and
99
100
* use the base dir for both searching and writing. There is a helper
* function (PHYSFS_setSaneConfig()) that puts together a basic configuration
101
* for you, based on a few parameters. Also see the comments on

* PHYSFS_getBaseDir(), and PHYSFS_getUserDir() for info on what those
* are and how they can help you determine an optimal search path.
*
* PhysicsFS is (sort of) NOT thread safe! The error messages returned by
* PHYSFS_getLastError are unique by thread, but that's it. Generally
* speaking, we'd have to request a mutex at the start of each function,
* and release it before returning. Not only is this REALLY slow, it requires
* a thread lock portability layer to be written. All that work is only
* necessary as a safety if the calling application is poorly written.
* Generally speaking, it is safe to call most functions that don't set state
* simultaneously; you can read and write and open and close different files
* at the same time in different threads, but trying to set the write path in
* one thread while opening a file for writing in another will, at best,
* cause a polite error, but depending on the race condition results, you may
* get a segfault and crash, too. Use your head, and implement you own thread
* locks where needed. Also, consider if you REALLY need a multithreaded
* solution in the first place.
119
120
121
*
* While you CAN use stdio/syscall file access in a program that has PHYSFS_*
* calls, doing so is not recommended, and you can not use system
122
123
124
* filehandles with PhysicsFS filehandles and vice versa.
*
* Note that archives need not be named as such: if you have a ZIP file and
125
* rename it with a .PKG extension, the file will still be recognized as a
