Interface IFileSystem

Stipulates contract for various file system abstractions. FileSystem abstractions are mostly useful for working with components/classes that may need to inter-operate not only with local file system but also with distributed systems like ApacheHDFS, SVN, GIT, or Aum Cluster File System (ACFS). NFX library provides compatibility wrapper 'NFX.IO.FileSystem.Local.LocalFileSystem' for access to local machine file system (which is based on this class and is implemented using a traditional System.IO.* set of classes). The FileSystem abstraction supports the following concepts: versioning, transactions, metadata, security; however it does not guarantee that every implementation is capable of providing all of these functions. Query "GeneralCapabilities" and "InstanceCapabilities" to see what functions are supported by a particular instance.
