Filesystem

Overview on the Filesystem

The filesystem library in RbxStu V3 can be accessed in a manner of two ways: globally (no prefix) or by its library name, filesystem. All filesystem functions are herein considered EXPENSIVE functions due to their nature.

Why?

The traditional UNC FileSystem forces the developer to, on every operation, open a handle to the file and then close it. Because of it, it is considered slow. All that can truly be done is to make a big buffer to then flush it into the file using appendfile or writefile to try and mitigate these effects.

The filesystem library works by creating a folder named workspace inside of the folder the DLL is present in; this means that, wherever you place the DLL, must be a place where ROBLOX Studio can write and read from; otherwise, it will fail to create the folder and, to a lesser extent, not work.
