ffs

Small text based file system.

Built for Axle.

How it works:

Given a directory, ffs will add it recursively to a file arxiv in plain text.

ffs arxiv files contain a header section and a content section. The header is a dictionary-like recursive structure detailing the name of a file and either the length of its contents or the number of files within. The name is preceded by its length. The content section is simply a concatenation of file's contents.

The example system is structured as follows:

test
+-- resources
|   +-- bbundle.txt
+-- aaa.txt
+-- hello.txt
+-- zero

And the result arxiv contains the following:

{0:0;1{4test:0;5{7aaa.txt:4}{5empty:4;0}{9hello.txt:6}{9resources:10;1{10bundle.txt:7}}{4zero:0}}}aaa
hello
bundle
