Detailed Description
The DiskIo class makes it possible for the web-server to work with resources on a hard drive.
A directory separator is always '/'. DOS based file systems that cannot handle forward slash must internally convert to and from '/'.
A DiskIo instance can directly work on the root of the file system, but it is more common to give the DiskIo instance an offset value. The offset value is set with method DiskIo::setRootDir
The setRootDir method can accept an absolute or relative path argument. As an example, all example programs compiled in 'debug' mode executes from the 'obj/debug' directory. All 'debug mode' examples opens a DiskIo and sets the root path to '../../html' and binds the DiskIo to a HttpResRdr instance. This makes it possible for the web-server to access the HTML files in the 'html' directory.
This is a generic header file for all file systems and platforms.
Barracuda does not officially support native file systems as Barracuda can easily work without using a file system. However, the xrc/DiskIo directory contains implementation for common file systems. This directory also contains the BaFile API used by some of the example code.
