This crate defines and implements various virtual filesystems for Rust. It's loosely inspired by the vfs
crate with
a focus on conformity with std
.
virtual-fs
has the following FileSystems implemented out of the box:
PhysicalFS
: A read-write physical filesystem mounted at a directory. Path traversal outside the root is permitted.SandboxedPhysicalFS
: A read-write physical filesystem that guards against traversal through backtracking and symbolic link traversal.MemoryFS
: A read-write in-memory filesystem.RocFS
: A "read-only collection" filesystem. This filesystem is similar toOverlayFS
, but is read-only. This filesystem searches filesystems in mount-order for files, allowing multiple filesystems to be mounted at once.MountableFS
: A read-write filesystem that supports mounting other filesystems at given paths.ZipFS
: A read-only filesystem that mounts a ZIP archive, backed by thezip
crate.TarFS
A read-only filesystem that mounts a Tarball, backed by thetar
crate.
