FileX API - Version 3.0
Copyright © 1996-2002

Easy to Understand!

The goal behind FileX is to provide the very best deeply embedded file system technology in a manner that is easy to understand - and more importantly - easy to use!

This all starts with the FileX Application Interface (API). Considerable effort has been made to make the services intuitive and consistent. Please see for yourself! Below is a complete list of the FileX Version 3.0 API.
