fsaccess
Fsaccess is a term used in computing to describe a component or library that provides controlled access to a computer's filesystem. In software projects, fsaccess serves as an abstraction layer over native operating system filesystem APIs, offering higher-level operations with consistent behavior across platforms. It handles path normalization and resolution, access checks, error translation, and often security boundaries such as sandboxing or restricted views of the filesystem.
Common features of fsaccess implementations include path normalization and joining, canonicalization of paths, and protection against
Contexts in which fsaccess appears vary. Web browsers and other sandboxed environments may implement fsaccess to
Implementation notes often involve leveraging native OS calls, such as POSIX functions like access, stat, and
