* 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
Jun 7, 2001
Jun 7, 2001
20
* fs_* cvars. If you've ever tinkered with these, then this API will be
Jun 7, 2001

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
Jan 8, 2004
Jan 8, 2004
29
* language from piddling over c:\\config.sys, for example. If you'd rather
Jul 5, 2001
Jul 5, 2001
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.

* Drive letters are hidden in PhysicsFS once you set up your initial paths.
Jul 5, 2001

34
* The search path creates a single, hierarchical directory structure.

* 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
Jul 5, 2001
Jul 5, 2001
42
* "C:\MyGame\MyConfigFiles\game.cfg", then you might set the write dir to
Jun 7, 2001
Jun 7, 2001
43
* "C:\MyGame" and then open "MyConfigFiles/game.cfg". This gives an
Jun 7, 2001
Jun 7, 2001
44
* abstraction across all platforms. Specifying a file in this way is termed

* "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,
Jun 7, 2001
Jun 7, 2001
53
* which is the root of the writable filesystem. When opening a file for
Jul 5, 2001
Jul 5, 2001
54
* reading, PhysicsFS goes through the search path. This is NOT the
Jun 7, 2001

* 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.
*
Jul 5, 2001

* Once the search path is defined, you may open files for reading. If you've

* got the following search path defined (to use a win32 example again):

* separator, lack of drive letter, and lack of dir separator at the start of

* 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.

* elements. Not only are these meaningless on MacOS Classic 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. For portability, 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.

* All files are opened in binary mode; there is no endline conversion for
* textfiles. Other than that, PhysicsFS has some convenience functions for
Jun 28, 2001
Jun 28, 2001
97
* platform-independence. There is a function to tell you the current

* platform's dir separator ("\\" on windows, "/" on Unix, ":" on MacOS),
Jun 28, 2001
Jun 28, 2001
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.

* 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
Jun 28, 2001
Jun 28, 2001
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
Jul 5, 2001
Jul 5, 2001
107
108
* use the base dir for both searching and writing. There is a helper
* function (PHYSFS_setSaneConfig()) that puts together a basic configuration
Jun 28, 2001
Jun 28, 2001
109
* for you, based on a few parameters. Also see the comments on

111
112
* PHYSFS_getBaseDir(), and PHYSFS_getUserDir() for info on what those
* are and how they can help you determine an optimal search path.

* PhysicsFS 2.0 adds the concept of "mounting" archives to arbitrary points
* in the search path. If a zipfile contains "maps/level.map" and you mount
* that archive at "mods/mymod", then you would have to open
* "mods/mymod/maps/level.map" to access the file, even though "mods/mymod"
* isn't actually specified in the .zip file. Unlike the Unix mentality of
* mounting a filesystem, "mods/mymod" doesn't actually have to exist when
* mounting the zipfile. It's a "virtual" directory. The mounting mechanism
* allows the developer to seperate archives in the tree and avoid trampling
* over files when added new archives, such as including mod support in a
* game...keeping external content on a tight leash in this manner can be of
* utmost importance to some applications.

* 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.

* 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

* filehandles with PhysicsFS and vice versa.

* Note that archives need not be named as such: if you have a ZIP file and

Jun 28, 2001
137
* rename it with a .PKG extension, the file will still be recognized as a
Jun 7, 2001
Jun 7, 2001
138
* ZIP archive by PhysicsFS; the file's contents are used to determine its
