lovr.filesystem.mount

Mounts a directory or .zip archive, adding it to the virtual filesystem. This allows you to read files from it.

success = lovr.filesystem.mount(path, mountpoint, append, root)

Name	Type	Default	Description
path	string		The path to mount.
mountpoint	string	'/'	The path in the virtual filesystem to mount to.
append	boolean	false	Whether the archive will be added to the end or the beginning of the search path.
root	string	nil	A subdirectory inside the archive to use as the root. If `nil`, the actual root of the archive is used.

Name	Type	Description
success	boolean	Whether the archive was successfully mounted.

Notes

The append option lets you control the priority of the archive's files in the event of naming collisions.

This function is not thread safe. Mounting or unmounting an archive while other threads call lovr.filesystem functions is not supported.

Mount data.zip with a file images/background.png:

lovr.filesystem.mount('data.zip', 'assets')
print(lovr.filesystem.isFile('assets/images/background.png')) -- true
