[pclasses-devel] FileSystem<>???

[stephan b. <st...@s1...>]

The zip/tar ideas got me thinking about abstracting filesystem:


template <typename FileT, typename DirectoryT>
class FileSystem
{
// throw (IOError) left off for brevity...

	FileT getFile( const String & path, ListT & targetList );
	DirectoryT getDirectory( const String & path, ListT & targetList );

	... various funcs to return iterators, etc. ...

};

That could be extended by:

TraditionalFileSystem (what you and i use)
TarFileSystem
ZipFileSystem
FtpFileSystem
...

???

i know there are existing APIs for doing this type of this (KDE and one 
of the stream projects on SF (forgot the name)), but i haven't ever 
used them.
