Virtual fs bot

This bot allows users to store information in a virtual file system, for a given stream or private chat.

Usage

Run this bot as described in here.

Use this bot with any of the following commands:

@fs mkdir : create a directory @fs ls : list a directory @fs cd : change directory @fs pwd : show current path @fs write : write text @fs read : read text @fs rm : remove a file @fs rmdir : remove a directory

where fs may be the name of the bot you registered in the zulip system.

Usage examples

@fs ls - Initially shows nothing (with a warning) @fs pwd - Show which directory we are in: we start in / @fs mkdir foo - Make directory foo @fs ls - Show that foo is now created @fs cd foo - Change into foo (and do a pwd, automatically) @fs write test hello world - Write "hello world" to the file 'test' @fs read test - Check the text was written @fs ls - Show that the new file exists @fs rm test - Remove that file @fs cd / - Change back to root directory @fs rmdir foo - Remove foo

Notes

• In a stream, the bot must be mentioned; in a private chat, the bot will assume every message is a command and so does not require this, though doing so will still work.

• Use commands like @fs help write for more details on a command.
