I'm just trying to understand the API a bit more and I've forgotten
all the previous discussion. Is there any more documentation apart
from the stuff at http://alleg.sourceforge.net/a5docs/ ?
No, it should have the complete fshooks API as it is in current SVN. Which is
rather incomplete right now of course.
Is it possible to 'reset' al_readdir and enumerate through it again?
In PhysFS, the default read/write dirs are empty. So if we copy the semantics,
an attempt to read a file without calling al_add_search_path will always fail.
Same for writing.
And, is there a way to set the CWD to an ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY? That would
seem to me to be quite useful, say if you put all the resources in a
zip file.
This part is still missing. fshook.c has this:
struct ALLEGRO_FS_HOOK_SYS_INTERFACE *_al_sys_fshooks = &_al_stdio_sys_fshooks;
So all functions right now always use stdio. We have yet to decide how things
like a zip/physfs addon should work. Should we really use the above global
variable? Should it be a global, but per-thread? Or is there a better way
alltogether to add this to the API?
