[docs]class VirtualFileSystem(VirtualFileSystem, IOPlugin):
"""
The virtual file system class. This is an IOPlugin, but also heavily used
internally in fastr for working with directories. The VirtualFileSystem
uses the ``vfs://`` url scheme.
A typical virtual filesystem url is formatted as ``vfs://mountpoint/relative/dir/from/mount.ext``
Where the ``mountpoint`` is defined in the :ref:`config-file`. A list of
the currently known mountpoints can be found in the ``fastr.config`` object
.. code-block:: python
>>> fastr.config.mounts
{'example_data': '/home/username/fastr-feature-documentation/fastr/fastr/examples/data',
'home': '/home/username/',
'tmp': '/home/username/FastrTemp'}
This shows that a url with the mount ``home`` such as
``vfs://home/tempdir/testfile.txt`` would be translated into
``/home/username/tempdir/testfile.txt``.
There are a few default mount points defined by Fastr (that can be changed
via the config file).
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| mountpoint | default location |
+==============+=============================================================================+
| home | the users home directory (:py:func:`expanduser('~/') <os.path.expanduser>`) |
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| tmp | the fastr temprorary dir, defaults to ``tempfile.gettempdir()`` |
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| example_data | the fastr example data directory, defaults ``$FASTRDIR/example/data`` |
