* 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
20
* fs_* cvars. If you've ever tinkered with these, then this API will be
21
22
* 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
29
* language from piddling over c:\\config.sys, for example. If you'd rather
30
31
* 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.
32
33
*
* Drive letters are hidden in PhysicsFS once you set up your initial paths.
34
* The search path creates a single, hierarchical directory structure.
35
36
37
38
39
40
41
* 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
42
* "C:\MyGame\MyConfigFiles\game.cfg", then you might set the write dir to
43
* "C:\MyGame" and then open "MyConfigFiles/game.cfg". This gives an
44
* abstraction across all platforms. Specifying a file in this way is termed
45
46
47
48
49
50
51
52
* "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,
53
* which is the root of the writable filesystem. When opening a file for
54
* reading, PhysicsFS goes through the search path. This is NOT the
55
56
57
58
59
60
* 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.
*
61
* Once the search path is defined, you may open files for reading. If you've
62
63
* got the following search path defined (to use a win32 example again):
*
64
65
66
67
* - C:\\mygame
* - C:\\mygame\\myuserfiles
* - D:\\mygamescdromdatafiles
* - C:\\mygame\\installeddatafiles.zip
68
*
69
* Then a call to PHYSFS_openRead("textfiles/myfile.txt") (note the directory
70
71
* separator, lack of drive letter, and lack of dir separator at the start of
* the string; this is platform-independent notation) will check for
72
73
74
75
76
77
78
* C:\\mygame\\textfiles\\myfile.txt, then
* 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 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.
94
95
96
*
* All files are opened in binary mode; there is no endline conversion for
* textfiles. Other than that, PhysicsFS has some convenience functions for
97
* platform-independence. There is a function to tell you the current
98
* platform's dir separator ("\\" on windows, "/" on Unix, ":" on MacOS),
99
100
101
* 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.
102
*
103
104
* 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
105
106
* 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
107
108
* use the base dir for both searching and writing. There is a helper
* function (PHYSFS_setSaneConfig()) that puts together a basic configuration
109
* for you, based on a few parameters. Also see the comments on
110
111
112
* PHYSFS_getBaseDir(), and PHYSFS_getUserDir() for info on what those
* are and how they can help you determine an optimal search path.
*
113
114
115
116
117
118
* PhysicsFS is mostly thread safe. The error messages returned by
* PHYSFS_getLastError are unique by thread, and library-state-setting
* functions are mutex'd. For efficiency, individual file accesses are
* not locked, so you can not safely read/write/seek/close/etc the same
* file from two threads at the same time. Other race conditions are bugs
* that should be reported/patched.
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
* filehandles with PhysicsFS and vice versa.
123
124
*
* 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
126
127
128
129
130
* ZIP archive by PhysicsFS; the file's contents are used to determine its
* type.
*
* Currently supported archive types:
* - .ZIP (pkZip/WinZip/Info-ZIP compatible)
131
* - .GRP (Build Engine groupfile archives)
132
* - .PAK (Quake I/II archive format)
133
134
* - .HOG (Descent I/II HOG file archives)
* - .MVL (Descent II movielib archives)
135

*
* The modtime is returned as a number of seconds since the epoch
* (Jan 1, 1970). The exact derivation and accuracy of this time depends on
* the particular archiver. If there is no reasonable way to obtain this
* information for a particular archiver, or there was some sort of error,
* this function returns (-1).
*
* \param filename filename to check, in platform-independent notation.
* \return last modified time of the file. -1 if it can't be determined.
