Lua VFS

Modes

VFS.RAW
VFS.MOD (unimplemented, acts like VFS.ZIP)
VFS.MAP (unimplemented, acts like VFS.ZIP)
VFS.BASE (unimplemented, acts like VFS.ZIP)
VFS.ZIP
VFS.RAW_FIRST
VFS.ZIP_FIRST
VFS.RAW_ONLY (same as VFS.RAW)
VFS.ZIP_ONLY (same as VFS.ZIP)

Files

VFS.Include (if enviroment=nil then use current one)

 ( 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

VFS.SubDirs

 ( string "directory", [, string "pattern" = "*"  [, number mode ] ] )
   -> { [1] = string subdir1, ... }

VFS.UseArchive unsynced only!

 ( string "filename" [, number mode ], lua_function [, arg1 [,arg2 ]] )
   -> result1,result2,... of the given lua_function

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.
