+<p>
+An instance of the sqlite3_vfs object defines the interface between
+the SQLite core and the underlying operating system. The "vfs"
+in the name of the object stands for "virtual file system". See
+the <a href="../vfs.html">VFS documentation</a> for further information.</p>
+
+<p>The VFS interface is sometimes extended by adding new methods onto
+the end. Each time such an extension occurs, the iVersion field
+is incremented. The iVersion value started out as 1 in
+SQLite <a href="../releaselog/3_5_0.html">version 3.5.0</a> on 2007-09-04, then increased to 2
+with SQLite <a href="../releaselog/3_7_0.html">version 3.7.0</a> on 2010-07-21, and then increased
+to 3 with SQLite <a href="../releaselog/3_7_6.html">version 3.7.6</a> on 2011-04-12. Additional fields
+may be appended to the sqlite3_vfs object and the iVersion value
+may increase again in future versions of SQLite.
+Note that due to an oversight, the structure
+of the sqlite3_vfs object changed in the transition from
+SQLite <a href="../releaselog/3_5_9.html">version 3.5.9</a> to <a href="../releaselog/3_6_0.html">version 3.6.0</a> on 2008-07-16
+and yet the iVersion field was not increased.</p>
+
+<p>The szOsFile field is the size of the subclassed <a href="../c3ref/file.html">sqlite3_file</a>
+structure used by this VFS. mxPathname is the maximum length of
+a pathname in this VFS.</p>
+
+<p>Registered sqlite3_vfs objects are kept on a linked list formed by
+the pNext pointer. The <a href="../c3ref/vfs_find.html">sqlite3_vfs_register()</a>
+and <a href="../c3ref/vfs_find.html">sqlite3_vfs_unregister()</a> interfaces manage this list
+in a thread-safe way. The <a href="../c3ref/vfs_find.html">sqlite3_vfs_find()</a> interface
+searches the list. Neither the application code nor the VFS
+implementation should use the pNext pointer.</p>
+
+<p>The pNext field is the only field in the sqlite3_vfs
+structure that SQLite will ever modify. SQLite will only access
+or modify this field while holding a particular static mutex.
+The application should never modify anything within the sqlite3_vfs
+object once the object has been registered.</p>
+
+<p>The zName field holds the name of the VFS module. The name must
+be unique across all VFS modules.</p>
+
+<p><a name="sqlite3vfsxopen"></a>
+
+SQLite guarantees that the zFilename parameter to xOpen
+is either a NULL pointer or string obtained
+from xFullPathname() with an optional suffix added.
+If a suffix is added to the zFilename parameter, it will
+consist of a single "-" character followed by no more than
+11 alphanumeric and/or "-" characters.
+SQLite further guarantees that
+the string will be valid and unchanged until xClose() is
+called. Because of the previous sentence,
+the <a href="../c3ref/file.html">sqlite3_file</a> can safely store a pointer to the
+filename if it needs to remember the filename for some reason.
+If the zFilename parameter to xOpen is a NULL pointer then xOpen
+must invent its own temporary name for the file. Whenever the
+xFilename parameter is NULL it will also be the case that the
+flags parameter will include <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_DELETEONCLOSE</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The flags argument to xOpen() includes all bits set in
+the flags argument to <a href="../c3ref/open.html">sqlite3_open_v2()</a>. Or if <a href="../c3ref/open.html">sqlite3_open()</a>
+or <a href="../c3ref/open.html">sqlite3_open16()</a> is used, then flags includes at least
+<a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_READWRITE</a> | <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE</a>.
+If xOpen() opens a file read-only then it sets *pOutFlags to
+include <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY</a>. Other bits in *pOutFlags may be set.</p>
+
+<p>SQLite will also add one of the following flags to the xOpen()
+call, depending on the object being opened:</p>
+
+<p><ul>
+<li> <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_MAIN_DB</a>
+<li> <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_MAIN_JOURNAL</a>
+<li> <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_TEMP_DB</a>
+<li> <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_TEMP_JOURNAL</a>
+<li> <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_TRANSIENT_DB</a>
+<li> <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_SUBJOURNAL</a>
+<li> <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_SUPER_JOURNAL</a>
+<li> <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_WAL</a>
+</ul></p>
+
+<p>The file I/O implementation can use the object type flags to
+change the way it deals with files. For example, an application
+that does not care about crash recovery or rollback might make
+the open of a journal file a no-op. Writes to this journal would
+also be no-ops, and any attempt to read the journal would return
+SQLITE_IOERR. Or the implementation might recognize that a database
+file will be doing page-aligned sector reads and writes in a random
+order and set up its I/O subsystem accordingly.</p>
+
+<p>SQLite might also add one of the following flags to the xOpen method:</p>
+
+<p><ul>
+<li> <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_DELETEONCLOSE</a>
+<li> <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_EXCLUSIVE</a>
+</ul></p>
+
+<p>The <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_DELETEONCLOSE</a> flag means the file should be
+deleted when it is closed. The <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_DELETEONCLOSE</a>
+will be set for TEMP databases and their journals, transient
+databases, and subjournals.</p>
+
+<p>The <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_EXCLUSIVE</a> flag is always used in conjunction
+with the <a href="../c3ref/c_open_autoproxy.html">SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE</a> flag, which are both directly
+analogous to the O_EXCL and O_CREAT flags of the POSIX open()
+API. The SQLITE_OPEN_EXCLUSIVE flag, when paired with the
+SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE, is used to indicate that file should always
+be created, and that it is an error if it already exists.
+It is <i>not</i> used to indicate the file should be opened
+for exclusive access.</p>
+
+<p>At least szOsFile bytes of memory are allocated by SQLite
+to hold the <a href="../c3ref/file.html">sqlite3_file</a> structure passed as the third
+argument to xOpen. The xOpen method does not have to
+allocate the structure; it should just fill it in. Note that
+the xOpen method must set the sqlite3_file.pMethods to either
+a valid <a href="../c3ref/io_methods.html">sqlite3_io_methods</a> object or to NULL. xOpen must do
+this even if the open fails. SQLite expects that the sqlite3_file.pMethods
+element will be valid after xOpen returns regardless of the success
+or failure of the xOpen call.</p>
+
+<p><a name="sqlite3vfsxaccess"></a>
+
+The flags argument to xAccess() may be <a href="../c3ref/c_access_exists.html">SQLITE_ACCESS_EXISTS</a>
+to test for the existence of a file, or <a href="../c3ref/c_access_exists.html">SQLITE_ACCESS_READWRITE</a> to
+test whether a file is readable and writable, or <a href="../c3ref/c_access_exists.html">SQLITE_ACCESS_READ</a>
+to test whether a file is at least readable. The SQLITE_ACCESS_READ
+flag is never actually used and is not implemented in the built-in
+VFSes of SQLite. The file is named by the second argument and can be a
+directory. The xAccess method returns <a href="../rescode.html#ok">SQLITE_OK</a> on success or some
+non-zero error code if there is an I/O error or if the name of
+the file given in the second argument is illegal. If SQLITE_OK
+is returned, then non-zero or zero is written into *pResOut to indicate
+whether or not the file is accessible.</p>
+
+<p>SQLite will always allocate at least mxPathname+1 bytes for the
+output buffer xFullPathname. The exact size of the output buffer
+is also passed as a parameter to both methods. If the output buffer
+is not large enough, <a href="../rescode.html#cantopen">SQLITE_CANTOPEN</a> should be returned. Since this is
+handled as a fatal error by SQLite, vfs implementations should endeavor
+to prevent this by setting mxPathname to a sufficiently large value.</p>
+
+<p>The xRandomness(), xSleep(), xCurrentTime(), and xCurrentTimeInt64()
+interfaces are not strictly a part of the filesystem, but they are
+included in the VFS structure for completeness.
+The xRandomness() function attempts to return nBytes bytes
+of good-quality randomness into zOut. The return value is
+the actual number of bytes of randomness obtained.
+The xSleep() method causes the calling thread to sleep for at
+least the number of microseconds given. The xCurrentTime()
+method returns a Julian Day Number for the current date and time as
+a floating point value.
+The xCurrentTimeInt64() method returns, as an integer, the Julian
+Day Number multiplied by 86400000 (the number of milliseconds in
+a 24-hour day).
+SQLite will use the xCurrentTimeInt64() method to get the current
+date and time if that method is available (if iVersion is 2 or
+greater and the function pointer is not NULL) and will fall back
+to xCurrentTime() if xCurrentTimeInt64() is unavailable.</p>
+
+<p>The xSetSystemCall(), xGetSystemCall(), and xNestSystemCall() interfaces
+are not used by the SQLite core. These optional interfaces are provided
+by some VFSes to facilitate testing of the VFS code. By overriding
+system calls with functions under its control, a test program can
+simulate faults and error conditions that would otherwise be difficult
+or impossible to induce. The set of system calls that can be overridden
+varies from one VFS to another, and from one version of the same VFS to the
+next. Applications that use these interfaces must be prepared for any
+or all of these interfaces to be NULL or for their behavior to change
+from one release to the next. Applications must not attempt to access
+any of these methods if the iVersion of the VFS is less than 3.
