/**

* 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

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

* 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.

*

* Drive letters are hidden in PhysicsFS once you set up your initial paths.

* 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

* "C:\MyGame\MyConfigFiles\game.cfg", then you might set the write dir to

* "C:\MyGame" and then open "MyConfigFiles/game.cfg". This gives an

* 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,

* which is the root of the writable filesystem. When opening a file for

* reading, PhysicsFS goes through the search path. This is NOT the

* 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.

*

* 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):

*

* C:\mygame

* C:\mygame\myuserfiles

* D:\mygamescdromdatafiles

* C:\mygame\installeddatafiles.zip

*

* Then a call to PHYSFS_openRead("textfiles/myfile.txt") (note the directory

* 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

* 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.

*

* All files are opened in binary mode; there is no endline conversion for

* textfiles. Other than that, PhysicsFS has some convenience functions for

* platform-independence. There is a function to tell you the current

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

* 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

* 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

* use the base dir for both searching and writing. There is a helper

* function (PHYSFS_setSaneConfig()) that puts together a basic configuration

* 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.

*

* 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 filehandles and vice versa.

*

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

* rename it with a .PKG extension, the file will still be recognized as a

* ZIP archive by PhysicsFS; the file's contents are used to determine its

* type.

*

* Currently supported archive types:

* - .ZIP (pkZip/WinZip/Info-ZIP compatible)

*

* Please see the file LICENSE in the source's root directory.
