45	* @ingroup grp_rt
46	*
47	* The virtual filesystem APIs are intended to make it possible to work on
48	* container files, file system sub-trees, file system overlays and other custom
49	* filesystem configurations. It also makes it possible to create filters, like
50	* automatically gunzipping a tar.gz file before feeding it to the RTTar API for
51	* unpacking - or vice versa.
52	*
53	* The virtual filesystem APIs are intended to mirror the RTDir, RTFile, RTPath
54	* and RTFs APIs pretty closely so that rewriting a piece of code to work with
55	* it should be easy. However there are some differences to the way the APIs
56	* works and the user should heed the documentation. The differences are
57	* usually motivated by simplification and in some case to make the VFS more
58	* flexible.

1823	*
1824	* VFS chains is for doing pipe like things with VFS objects from the command
1825	* line. Imagine you want to cat the readme.gz of an ISO you could do
1826	* something like:
1827	* RTCat :iprtvfs:file(stdfile,live.iso)\|vfs(isofs)\|iso(open,readme.gz)\|ios(gunzip)
1828	* or
1829	* RTCat :iprtvfs:file(stdfile,live.iso)\|ios(isofs,readme.gz)\|ios(gunzip)
1830	*
1831	* Or say you want to read the README.TXT on a floppy image:
1832	* RTCat :iprtvfs:file(stdfile,floppy.img,r)\|vfs(fat)\|ios(open,README.TXT)
1833	* or
1834	* RTCat :iprtvfs:file(stdfile,floppy.img,r)\|vfs(fat)\|README.TXT
1835	*
1836	* Or in the other direction, you want to write a STUFF.TGZ file to the above
1837	* floppy image, using a lazy writer thread for compressing the data:
1838	* RTTar cf :iprtvfs:file(stdfile,floppy.img,rw)\|ios(fat,STUFF.TGZ)\|ios(gzip)\|ios(push) .
1839	*
1840	*
1841	* A bit more formally:
1842	* :iprtvfs:{type}({provider}[,provider-args])[{separator}{type}...][{separator}{path}]
1843	*
1844	* The @c type refers to VFS object that should be created by the @c provider.
1845	* Valid types:
1846	* - vfs: A virtual file system (volume).
1847	* - fss: A file system stream (e.g. tar).
1848	* - ios: An I/O stream.
1849	* - file: A file.
1850	* - dir: A directory.
1851	* - sym: A symbolic link (not sure how useful this is).
1852	*
1853	* The @c provider refers to registered chain element providers (see
1854	* RTVFSCHAINELEMENTREG for how that works internally). These are asked to
1855	* create a VFS object of the specified type using the given arguments (if any).
1856	* Default providers:
1857	* - std: Standard file, directory and file system.
1858	* - open: Opens a file, I/O stream or directory in a vfs or directory object.
1859	* - pull: Read-ahead buffering thread on file or I/O stream.
1860	* - push: Lazy-writer buffering thread on file or I/O stream.
1861	* - gzip: Compresses an I/O stream.
1862	* - gunzip: Decompresses an I/O stream.
1863	* - fat: FAT file system accessor.
1864	* - isofs: ISOFS file system accessor.
1865	*
1866	* As element @c separator we allow both colon (':') and the pipe character
1867	* ('\|'). The latter the conventional one, but since it's inconvenient on the
1868	* command line, colon is provided as an alternative.
1869	*
1870	* In the final element we allow a simple @a path to be specified instead of the
1871	* type-provider-arguments stuff. The previous object must be a directory, file
1872	* system or file system stream. The application will determin exactly which
1873	* operation or operations which will be performed.
