<span id="vfs"></span><h1>Virtual File System (VFS)<a class="headerlink" href="#virtual-file-system-vfs" title="Link to this heading"></a></h1>
<p><a class="reference external" href="https://sqlite.org/c3ref/vfs.html">VFS</a> defines
the interface between the SQLite core and the underlying operating
system. The majority of the functionality deals with files. APSW
exposes this functionality letting you provide your own routines.
You can also <em>inherit</em> from an existing vfs making it easy to augment
or override specific routines.</p>
<p>You specify which VFS to use as a parameter to the <a class="reference internal" href="connection.html#apsw.Connection" title="apsw.Connection"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Connection</span></code></a>
constructor.</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">db</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">apsw</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">Connection</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;file&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">vfs</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">&quot;myvfs&quot;</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The easiest way to get started is to make a <a class="reference internal" href="#apsw.VFS" title="apsw.VFS"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">VFS</span></code></a> derived class
that inherits from the default vfs.  Then override methods you want to
change behaviour of.  If you want to just change how file operations
are done then you have to override <a class="reference internal" href="#apsw.VFS.xOpen" title="apsw.VFS.xOpen"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">VFS.xOpen()</span></code></a> to return a file
instance that has your overridden <a class="reference internal" href="#apsw.VFSFile" title="apsw.VFSFile"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">VFSFile</span></code></a> methods.  The
<a class="reference internal" href="example.html#example-vfs"><span class="std std-ref">example</span></a> demonstrates obfuscating the database
file contents.</p>
<section id="exceptions-and-errors">
<h2>Exceptions and errors<a class="headerlink" href="#exceptions-and-errors" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>To return an error from any routine you should raise an exception. The
exception will be translated into the corresponding SQLite error code.
To return a specific SQLite error code use <a class="reference internal" href="apsw.html#apsw.exception_for" title="apsw.exception_for"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">exception_for()</span></code></a>.  If
the exception does not map to any specific error code then
<em>SQLITE_ERROR</em> which corresponds to <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#apsw.SQLError" title="apsw.SQLError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SQLError</span></code></a> is returned to SQLite.</p>
<p>The SQLite code that deals with VFS errors behaves in varying
ways. Some routines have no way to return an error: eg <a class="reference external" href="https://sqlite.org/c3ref/vfs.html">xDlOpen</a> just returns zero/NULL on
being unable to load a library, <a class="reference external" href="https://sqlite.org/c3ref/vfs.html">xSleep</a> has no error return
parameter), others are unified (eg almost any
error in xWrite will be returned to the user as disk full
error). Sometimes errors are ignored as they are harmless such as when
a journal can’t be deleted after a commit (the journal is marked as
obsolete before being deleted).  Simple operations such as opening a
database can result in many different VFS function calls such as hot
journals being detected, locking, and read/writes for
playback/rollback.</p>
<p>If multiple exceptions occur during the same SQLite control flow, then
they will be <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html"><span class="doc">chained</span></a> together.
<a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#augmentedstacktraces"><span class="std std-ref">Augmented stack traces</span></a> are available
which significantly increase detail about the exceptions and help with
debugging.</p>
