 * @ingroup grp_rt
 *
 * The virtual filesystem APIs are intended to make it possible to work on
 * container files, file system sub-trees, file system overlays and other custom
 * filesystem configurations.  It also makes it possible to create filters, like
 * automatically gunzipping a tar.gz file before feeding it to the RTTar API for
 * unpacking - or wise versa.
 *
 * The virtual filesystem APIs are intended to mirror the RTDir, RTFile, RTPath
 * and RTFs APIs pretty closely so that rewriting a piece of code to work with
 * it should be easy.  However there are some differences to the way the APIs
 * works and the user should heed the documentation.  The differences are
 * usually motivated by simplification and in some case to make the VFS more
 * flexible.
