/**
 * \defgroup cfs The Contiki file system interface
 *
 * The Contiki file system interface (CFS) defines an abstract API for
 * reading directories and for reading and writing files. The CFS API
 * is intentionally simple. The CFS API is modeled after the POSIX
 * file API, and slightly simplified.
