Detailed Description

Data structures for opening, closing, reading and writing.

Author

Olivier Hureau, Hugo Feydel , Julien ALaimo Data structures for opening, closing, reading and writing to individual files. The operations supported are similar to the UNIX ones – type 'man open' to the UNIX prompt.

There are two implementations. One is a "STUB" that directly turns the file operations into the underlying UNIX operations. (cf. comment in filesys.h).

The other is the "real" implementation, that turns these operations into read and write disk sector requests. In this baseline implementation of the file system, we don't worry about concurrent accesses to the file system by different threads – this is part of the assignment.
