Lua VFS

Modes

VFS.RAW
VFS.MOD
VFS.MAP
VFS.BASE
VFS.ZIP
VFS.RAW_FIRST
VFS.ZIP_FIRST
VFS.RAW_ONLY
VFS.ZIP_ONLY

Note that RAW_ONLY and ZIP_ONLY are merely backwards-compatible names for RAW and ZIP.

Currently, MOD, MAP, and BASE are unimplemented, and all act like ZIP.

Files

VFS.Include

 ( string "filename" [, table enviroment [, number mode ] ] ) ->

VFS.LoadFile

 ( string "filename" [, number mode ] ) -> nil | lstring data

VFS.FileExists

 ( string "filename" [, number mode ] ) -> boolean

VFS.DirList

 ( string "directory" [, string "pattern"  [, number mode [, string "optstr" ] ] ] )
   -> { [1] = string filename, ... }
   optstr can contain:
     "r" = recursive
     "d" = include dirs

Packing

The Pack- and Unpack-functions are used to convert numbers->strings and strings->numbers. So you can read a binary file and then convert the received strings back to numbers and the other way around. Also you can use it in combination with the SendLuaXYZMsg-functions.
