\section{\class{wxFileSystem}}\label{wxfilesystem}
This class provides an interface for opening files on different
file systems. It can handle absolute and/or local filenames.
It uses a system of \helpref{handlers}{wxfilesystemhandler} to
provide access to user-defined virtual file systems.
\wxheading{Derived from}
\helpref{wxObject}{wxobject}
\wxheading{Include files}
<wx/filesys.h>

\membersection{wxFileSystem::wxFileSystem}\label{wxfilesystemwxfilesystem}
\func{}{wxFileSystem}{\void}
Constructor.
\membersection{wxFileSystem::AddHandler}\label{wxfilesystemaddhandler}
\func{static void}{AddHandler}{\param{wxFileSystemHandler }{*handler}}
This static function adds new handler into the list of handlers.
The \helpref{handlers}{wxfilesystemhandler} provide access to virtual FS.
\wxheading{Note}
You can call:
\begin{verbatim}
wxFileSystem::AddHandler(new My_FS_Handler);
\end{verbatim}
This is because (a) AddHandler is a static method, and (b) the handlers
are deleted in wxFileSystem's destructor so that you don't have to
care about it.
\membersection{wxFileSystem::ChangePathTo}\label{wxfilesystemchangepathto}
\func{void}{ChangePathTo}{\param{const wxString\& }{location}, \param{bool }{is\_dir = FALSE}}
Sets the current location. {\it location} parameter passed to
\helpref{OpenFile}{wxfilesystemopenfile} is relative to this path.
{\bf Caution! } Unless {\it is\_dir} is TRUE the {\it location} parameter
is not the directory name but the name of the file in this directory. All these
commands change the path to "dir/subdir/":
\begin{verbatim}
ChangePathTo("dir/subdir/xh.htm");
ChangePathTo("dir/subdir", TRUE);
C hangePathTo("dir/subdir/", TRUE);
\end{verbatim}
\wxheading{Parameters}
\docparam{location}{the new location. Its meaning depends on the value of {\it is\_dir}}
\docparam{is\_dir}{if TRUE {\it location} is new directory. If FALSE (default)
{\it location} is {\bf file in} the new directory.}
\wxheading{Example}
\begin{verbatim}
f = fs -> OpenFile("hello.htm"); // opens file 'hello.htm'
fs -> ChangePathTo("subdir/folder", TRUE);
f = fs -> OpenFile("hello.htm"); // opens file 'subdir/folder/hello.htm' !!
\end{verbatim}
\membersection{wxFileSystem::GetPath}\label{wxfilesystemgetpath}
\func{wxString}{GetPath}{\void}
Returns actual path (set by \helpref{ChangePathTo}{wxfilesystemchangepathto}).
\membersection{wxFileSystem::FileNameToURL}\label{wxfilesystemfilenametourl}
\func{static wxString}{FileNameToURL}{\param{wxFileName }{filename}}
Converts filename into URL.
\wxheading{See also}
\helpref{wxFileSystem::URLToFileName}{wxfilesystemurltofilename},
\helpref{wxFileName}{wxfilename}
\membersection{wxFileSystem::FindFirst}\label{wxfilesystemfindfirst}
\func{wxString}{FindFirst}{\param{const wxString\& }{wildcard}, \param{int }{flags = 0}}
Works like \helpref{wxFindFirstFile}{wxfindfirstfile}. Returns name of the first
filename (within filesystem's current path) that matches {\it wildcard}. {\it flags} may be one of
wxFILE (only files), wxDIR (only directories) or 0 (both).
\membersection{wxFileSystem::FindNext}\label{wxfilesystemfindnext}
\func{wxString}{FindNext}{\void}
Returns the next filename that matches parameters passed to \helpref{FindFirst}{wxfilesystemfindfirst}.
\membersection{wxFileSystem::OpenFile}\label{wxfilesystemopenfile}
\func{wxFSFile*}{OpenFile}{\param{const wxString\& }{location}}
Opens the file and returns a pointer to a \helpref{wxFSFile}{wxfsfile} object
or NULL if failed. It first tries to open the file in relative scope
(based on value passed to ChangePathTo() method) and then as an
absolute path.
\membersection{wxFileSystem::URLToFileName}\label{wxfilesystemurltofilename}
\func{static wxFileName}{URLToFileName}{\param{const wxString& }{url}}
Converts URL into a well-formed filename. The URL must use the {\tt file}
protocol.
