Overview
--------

[](#overview)

The L3fsReader class, allows files and metadata to be read from a AFS disk image stored as a raw dump. AFS filing systems are like modern filing systems in that there is a hierarchical directory structure, with '$' being the root of the fs.

L3fsReader Usage
----------------

[](#l3fsreader-usage)

Creating a L3fsReader Object to directly open a file on disk

```
$oAfs = new \HomeLan\Retro\Acorn\Disk\L3fsReader('l3_disk_image.img');

```

Once the L3fsReader object exists a few simple methods can be used to read data from it.

```
$oAdfs->getCatalogue()

```

Gets the catalogue of what is on the disk \*CAT

e.g.

```
$aCatalogue = $oAdfs->getCatalogue();
foreach($aCatalogue as $sDirectoy=>$aDir)
{
	echo $sDirectoy."\n==============\n";
	foreach($aDir as $sFileName=>$aEntryMetadata){
		echo $sFileName."  [".$aEntryMetadata['loadaddr'].' '.$aEntryMetadata['execaddr'].' '.$aEntryMetadata['size'].' '.$aEntryMetadata['startsector'].' '$aEntryMetadata['type']."\n";

	}
}

$oAfs->getFile('$.!BOOT');

```

The the contents of a give file

e.g.

```
$sFileContents = $oAdfs->getFile('$.!BOOT');

$oAdfs->getStat('$.!BOOT');

```

Stats a file

```
$oAfs->isFile('$.!BOOT');

```

Test if a given path is a file or not

e.g.

```
$bFile = $oAfs->isFile('$.!BOOT');
if($bFile){
	echo "!BOOT is file.\n"
}

$oAfs->isDir('A');

```

Test if a given path is a file or not

```
$bDir = $oAfs->isDir('D');
if($bDir){
	echo "D is a dir.\n"
}

```
