00053 /** A filesystem for accessing the local mbed Microcontroller USB disk drive
00054  *
00055  *  This allows programs to read and write files on the same disk drive that is used to program the
00056  *  mbed Microcontroller. Once created, the standard C file access functions are used to open,
00057  *  read and write files.
00058  *
00059  * Example:
00060  * @code
00061  * #include "mbed.h"
00062  *
00063  * LocalFileSystem local("local");               // Create the local filesystem under the name "local"
00064  *
00065  * int main() {
00066  *     FILE *fp = fopen("/local/out.txt", "w");  // Open "out.txt" on the local file system for writing
00067  *     fprintf(fp, "Hello World!");
00068  *     fclose(fp);
00069  *     remove("/local/out.txt");                 // Removes the file "out.txt" from the local file system
00070  *
00071  *     DIR *d = opendir("/local");               // Opens the root directory of the local file system
00072  *     struct dirent *p;
00073  *     while((p = readdir(d)) != NULL) {         // Print the names of the files in the local file system
00074  *       printf("%s\n", p->d_name);              // to stdout.
00075  *     }
00076  *     closedir(d);
00077  * }
00078  * @endcode
00079  *
00080  * @note
00081  *  If the microcontroller program makes an access to the local drive, it will be marked as "removed"
00082  *  on the Host computer. This means it is no longer accessible from the Host Computer.
00083  *
00084  *  The drive will only re-appear when the microcontroller program exists. Note that if the program does
00085  *  not exit, you will need to hold down reset on the mbed Microcontroller to be able to see the drive again!
