Abstract
This specification describes technologies relating to a runtime library including a virtual file system. In general, a method can include interfacing with an operating system of a computer; and providing runtime services, including a virtual file system, to programs running on the computer. Providing runtime services can include receiving first information and second information through a single file access routine of an API for the virtual file system; determining a selected one of multiple file storage areas to access based on the first information, the multiple file storage areas including a first local area accessible by a first program and inaccessible by a second program, and a second area accessible by the first program and the second program; mapping the second information to file resource(s) in the selected file storage area in the virtual file system; and accessing the one or more file resources for the first program.
