<p>Provides an interface to the user's filesystem.
</p><p>This module provides access to files in two places, and two places only:
</p>
<ul><li> The root folder of the .love archive (or source directory)
</li><li> The root folder of the game's <i>save directory</i>.
</li></ul>
<p>Each game is granted a single directory on the system where files can be saved through love.filesystem. This is the <b>only directory</b> where love.filesystem can write files. These directories will typically be found in something like:
</p>
<ul><li> Windows XP: <code>C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\LOVE\</code> or <code>%appdata%\LOVE\</code>
</li><li> Windows Vista and 7: <code>C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\LOVE</code> or <code>%appdata%\LOVE\</code>
</li><li> Linux: <code>$XDG_DATA_HOME/love/</code> or <code>~/.local/share/love/</code>
</li><li> Mac: <code>/Users/user/Library/Application Support/LOVE/</code>
</li></ul>
<p>Files that are opened for write or append will always be created in the save directory. The same goes for other operations that involve writing to the filesystem, like mkdir.
</p><p>Files that are opened for read will be looked for in the save directory, and then in the .love archive (in that order). So if a file with a certain filename (and path) exist in both the .love archive and the save folder, the one in the save directory takes precedence.
</p><p>Note: <b>All</b> paths are relative to the .love archive and save directory. (except for the get*Directory() calls)
</p><p>It is recommended to set your game's identity first in your <code><a href="Config_Files.html" title="Config Files">conf.lua</a></code>. You can set it with <code><a href="love.filesystem.setIdentity.html" title="love.filesystem.setIdentity">love.filesystem.setIdentity</a>()</code> as well.
