/**
 * Class containing static methods to use the new eGW virtual file system
 *
 * This extension of the vfs stream-wrapper allows to use the following static functions,
 * which only allow access to the eGW VFS and need no 'vfs://default' prefix for filenames:
 *
 * - resource egw_vfs::fopen($path,$mode) like fopen, returned resource can be used with fwrite etc.
 * - resource egw_vfs::opendir($path) like opendir, returned resource can be used with readdir etc.
 * - boolean egw_vfs::copy($from,$to) like copy
 * - boolean egw_vfs::rename($old,$new) renaming or moving a file in the vfs
 * - boolean egw_vfs::mkdir($path) creating a new dir in the vfs
 * - boolean egw_vfs::rmdir($path) removing (an empty) directory
 * - boolean egw_vfs::unlink($path) removing a file
 * - boolean egw_vfs::touch($path,$mtime=null) touch a file
 * - boolean egw_vfs::stat($path) returning status of file like stat(), but only with string keys (no numerical indexes)!
 *
 * With the exception of egw_vfs::touch() (not yet part of the stream_wrapper interface)
 * you can always use the standard php functions, if you add a 'vfs://default' prefix
 * to every filename or path. Be sure to always add the prefix, as the user otherwise gains
 * access to the real filesystem of the server!
 *
 * The two following methods can be used to persitently mount further filesystems (without editing the code):
 *
 * - boolean|array egw_vfs::mount($url,$path) to mount $ur on $path or to return the fstab when called without argument
 * - boolean egw_vfs::umount($path) to unmount a path or url
 *
 * The stream wrapper interface allows to access hugh files in junks to not be limited by the
 * memory_limit setting of php. To do you should pass the opened file as resource and not the content:
 *
 * 		$file = egw_vfs::fopen('/home/user/somefile','r');
 * 		$content = fread($file,1024);
 *
 * You can also attach stream filters, to eg. base64 encode or compress it on the fly,
 * without the need to hold the content of the whole file in memmory.
 *
 * If you want to copy a file, you can use stream_copy_to_stream to do a copy of a file far bigger then
 * php's memory_limit:
 *
 * 		$from = egw_vfs::fopen('/home/user/fromfile','r');
 * 		$to = egw_vfs::fopen('/home/user/tofile','w');
 *
 * 		stream_copy_to_stream($from,$to);
 *
 * The static egw_vfs::copy() method does exactly that, but you have to do it eg. on your own, if
 * you want to copy eg. an uploaded file into the vfs.
