Modules

• arc_box_file
  Used for sharing references to the same file across multiple file systems, effectively this is a symbolic link without all the complex path redirection
• arc_file
  Used for sharing references to the same file across multiple file systems, effectively this is a symbolic link without all the complex path redirection
• arc_fs
  Wraps a clonable Arc of a file system - in practice this is useful so you can pass clonable file systems with a Box<dyn FileSystem> to other interfaces
• buffer_file
  Used for /dev/zero - infinitely returns zero which is useful for commands like dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile.img size=1G
• builder
• combine_file
• cow_file
  Used for /dev/zero - infinitely returns zero which is useful for commands like dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile.img size=1G
• dual_write_file
• empty_fs
  When no file system is used by a WebC then this is used as a placeholder - as the name suggests it always returns file not found.
• host_fshost-fs
• limiter
• mem_fs
• null_file
  NullFile is a special file for /dev/null, which returns 0 for all operations except writing.
• passthru_fs
  Wraps a boxed file system with an implemented trait VirtualSystem - this is needed so that a Box<dyn VirtualFileSystem> can be wrapped in an Arc and shared - some of the interfaces pass around a Box<dyn VirtualFileSystem>
• pipe
• random_file
  Used for /dev/zero - infinitely returns zero which is useful for commands like dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile.img size=1G
• special_file
  Used for /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout, dev/stderr - returns a static file descriptor (0, 1, 2)
• static_fsstatic-fs
• tmp_fs
  Wraps the memory file system implementation - this has been enhanced to support mounting file systems, shared static files, readonly files, etc…
• union_fs
  Another implementation of the union that uses paths, its not as simple as TmpFs. not currently used but was used by the previoulsy implementation of Deploy - now using TmpFs
• webc_fswebc-fs
• zero_file
  Used for /dev/zero - infinitely returns zero which is useful for commands like dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile.img size=1G

Structs

• DirEntry
• FileType
• Metadata
• OpenOptions
• OpenOptionsConfig
• OverlayFileSystem
  A primary filesystem and chain of secondary filesystems that are overlayed on top of each other.
• ReadBuf
  A wrapper around a byte buffer that is incrementally filled and initialized.
• ReadDir
• ScopedDirectoryFileSystemhost-fs
  A FileSystem implementation that is scoped to a specific directory on the host.
• StaticFile
  An immutable file backed by an OwnedBuffer.
• TraceFileSystem
  A FileSystem wrapper that will automatically log all operations at the trace level.
• WebcVolumeFileSystemwebc-fs

Enums

• FsError
  Error type for external users
• StdioMode
  Determines the mode that stdio handlers will operate in

Traits

• AsyncRead
  Reads bytes from a source.
• AsyncReadExt
  Reads bytes from a source.
• AsyncSeek
  Seek bytes asynchronously.
• AsyncSeekExt
  An extension trait that adds utility methods to AsyncSeek types.
• AsyncWrite
  Writes bytes asynchronously.
• AsyncWriteExt
  Writes bytes to a sink.
• ClonableVirtualFile
• FileOpener
• FileSystem
• FileSystems
  A chain of one or more FileSystems.
• Upcastable
  Trait needed to get downcasting from VirtualFile to work.
• VirtualFile
  This trait relies on your file closing when it goes out of scope via Drop

Functions

• copy_reference
  Copies the reference of a file from one file system to another
• copy_reference_ext
  Copies the reference of a file from one file system to another
