How to use (way 1 uses LocalFileSystem)

using Tesses.VirtualFilesystem;
using Tesses.VirtualFilesystem.Filesystems;
using Tesses.VirtualFilesystem.Extensions;

LocalFileSystem fileSystem = new LocalFileSystem();
//Special.Home is $HOME on linux (usually /home/username) or %UserProfile% on Windows (usually C:\Users\username)
foreach(var item in fileSystem.EnumerateDirectories(Special.Home))
{
 Console.WriteLine(item.Name); //this is name
 //Console.WriteLine(item.Path) //this is entire path
}
fileSystem.WriteAllText(Special.CurDir / "file.txt","Some Text"); //write to file in current directory
fileSystem.CreateDirectory(Special.CurDir / "dir1/dir2/dir3" / "dir4"); //shows how you can use normal paths too within special ones

//enumerates directories in linux home dir (not cross platform) 
foreach(var item in fileSystem.EnumerateDirectories("/home")) 
{
 Console.WriteLine(item.Name);
}

fileSystem.CreateSymlink("fileToLinkTo","symlinkFile");
fileSystem.ReadSymlink("symlinkFile"); //should be equal to Special.CurDir / "fileToLinkTo" in this instance

fileSystem.CreateHardlink("originalFileName","newFileName"); //for people who dont know what hardlinks are, a simple explanation is a hard link is giving a file another name (not copying) and can only be done to files and on same real filesystem

fileSystem.DirectoryExists(Special.Home); //should be true if directory exists

How to use (way 2 uses LocalFileSystem)

using Tesses.VirtualFilesystem;
using Tesses.VirtualFilesystem.Filesystems;
using Tesses.VirtualFilesystem.Extensions;

var res=fileSystem.OpenDirectory(Special.Home);
foreach(var item in res)
{
 if(item.IsDirectoryPointer)
 {
 var dir=item.AsDirectoryPointer();
 //dir.EnumerateDirectories(); //enumerate directories IEnumerable<DirectoryPointer>
 Console.WriteLine($"DIR: {item.Name}");
 }
 if(item.IsFilePointer)
 {
 var file=item.AsFilePointer();
 //file.Delete(); //deletes file
 Console.WriteLine($"FILE: {item.Name}");
 }
 if(item.IsSymlinkPointer)
 {
 var link = item.AsSymlinkPointer();
 //do something with symlink
 //link.Target = Special.Music; //sets link to Music folder
 Console.WriteLine($"LINK: {item.Name}");
 }
}

How to implement

Inherit from SyncFileSystem or AsyncFileSystem

Look in the source for Tesses.VirtualFilesystem.Local for help with SyncFileSystem (I might add documentation for this later)
