Introduction

SimpleVFS it's a fork from D-GameVFS that updates to the latest changes of the language, and attempt to polish and finish the previous works.

D:GameVFS, and by extension SimpleVFS, is a minimalist open source virtual file system library for the D programming language oriented at game developers.

Provided functionality is very basic - files and directories can be created, read and written, but not deleted. There are no security features - e.g. SimpleVFS can't handle a situation when a file it's working with is deleted outside the program. Only files in a physical file system are supported at the moment. There is no archive support right now.

Features

File system independent, easy to use API for file/directory manipulation.
No external dependencies.
Seamless access to multiple directories as if they were a single directory.
Easy to extend with custom file system backend.
There is no support for ZIP or similar archive formats at the moment.
There is no support for deleting files/directories, and none is planned.
There are no security features and none are planned.
