# Native filesystem for LÖVE # Native filesystem for LÖVE
nativefs replicates a subset of the love.filesystem API, without path restrictions. nativefs replicates a subset of the [love.filesystem](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem) API, but without LÖVE's path restrictions.
## Available functions
### nativefs
* [nativefs.newFile](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.newFile)
* [nativefs.newFileData](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.newFileData)
* [nativefs.mount](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.mount)
* [nativefs.unmount](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.unmount)
* [nativefs.read](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.read)
* [nativefs.write](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.write)
* [nativefs.append](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.append)
* [nativefs.lines](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.lines)
* [nativefs.load](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.load)
* [nativefs.getWorkingDirectory](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.getWorkingDirectory)
* [nativefs.getDirectoryItems](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.getDirectoryItems)
* [nativefs.getInfo](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.getInfo)
* [nativefs.createDirectory](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.createDirectory)
* [nativefs.remove](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.remove)
Function names in this list are links to their `love.filesystem` counterparts. All functions are designed to work the same as `love.filesystem`, but without the path restrictions that LÖVE imposes; i.e., they allow full access to the filesystem.
Additional functions that not available in `love.filesystem`:
* `nativefs.getDriveList`
Returns a table of all populated drive letters on Windows (`{ 'C:/', 'D:/', ...}`). On systems that don't use drive letters, a table with the single entry `/` is returned.
* `nativefs.setWorkingDirectory`
Changes the working directory.
### File
`nativefs.newFile` returns a `File` object that provides these functions:
* [File:open](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):open)
* [File:close](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):close)
* [File:read](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):read)
* [File:write](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):write)
* [File:lines](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):lines)
* [File:isOpen](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):isOpen)
* [File:isEOF](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):isEOF)
* [File:getFilename](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):getFilename)
* [File:getMode](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):getMode)
* [File:getBuffer](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):getBuffer)
* [File:setBuffer](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):setBuffer)
* [File:getSize](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):getSize)
* [File:seek](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):seek)
* [File:tell](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):tell)
* [File:flush](https://love2d.org/wiki/\(File\):flush)
* [File:release](https://love2d.org/wiki/Object:release)
Function names in this list are links to their LÖVE `File` counterparts. `File` is designed to work the same as LÖVE's `File` class.
## Example
```
local nativefs = require("nativefs")
-- deletes all files in C:\Windows
local files = nativefs.getDirectoryItems('C:/Windows`)
for i = 1, #files do
nativefs.remove("C:/Windows/" .. files[i])
end
```
