1 INTRODUCTION

The project involves creation of a virtual file system. The project would
require creation and manipulation of various data structures to store the
contents of the file system. There should be a programmer-level library of
functions (API) like create, delete, open, close, read, write, etc to simulate
file system operations. The APIs will work on this simulated file system. The
file system can model an existing system such as Unix/Windows or we can
invent our own.

1.1 PURPOSE
To simulate the file system in order to manage files and hence facilitate work
of the user.

1.2 DOCUMENT CONVENTION

For this document, the abbreviation FSS will be used to refer File System
Simulation.The VFS refers to Virtual File System and APIs for Application
Programming Interface.GUI is used to abbreviate for Graphical User
Interface.

1.3 INTENDED AUIDENCE AND LEADING SUGGESTIONS

This software requirement specification is intended to all managers and
leading executive associated with the simulation of file system.

1.4 PROJECT SCOPE

FSS project user to manage file system. The project is limited to standalone
systems. It cannot be used over networks.

2. OVERALL DISCRIPTION

2.1 PRODUCT PROSPECTIVE

The FSS software is a tool for simulating the file system. It does not defy the
existing file system but would be the supportive of the same. It will enhance
the features of the existing file system.

2.2 PRODUCT FEATURES

Simulation of a file system on a local machine is to allow user to access and
perform different file operations. It provide a programmer-level library of
functions (API) like create, delete, open, close, read, write, etc to simulate
file system operations.

2.3 USER CLASSES AND CHARACTERSTICS

2.4 OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

FSS software is created in c++ compiler and run in any compatible
environment. The user interfaces are developed in visual studio 5.0 versions.

2.5 DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRAINTS

The FSS user assumes any or all responsibility for the use , installation and
removal of the software. The user is allowed to work with files of the type
.dat and .txt only. He is not allowed to open internet pages directly. There is
no file type conversion allowed to the user.

2.6 USER DOCUMENTATION

2.7 ASSUMPTIONS AND DEPENDENCIES
The user must know the name of file he has to work with. Files of only two
formats will be supported (.dat and .txt). The intended user is authenticated.

4 EXTERNAL INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS

4.1 USER INTERFACE

Provide a programmer-level library of functions (API) like create, delete,
open, close, read, write, etc to simulate file system operations. The APIs will
work on a simulated file system. we could either model our file system on an
existing system (e.g. Unix, Dos, windows etc) or invent our own. Our
system should provide support for directory hierarchies.

4.2 HARDWARE INTERFACE

All hardware interface will be implemented in c++ compiler and compatible
with GUI made in visual studio.

4.3 SOFTWARE INTERFACE

All software interface will be implemented in c++ compiler and compatible
with GUI made in visual studio.

4.4 COMMUNICATION INTERFACE

5 NON-FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

5.1 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

The software will perform the simulation of the system files. The
performance will depend on the processor speed and the working efficiency
of the user.

5.2 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

The intended user should be authenticating.

5.3 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

A user login id and a user password is provided to secure file system to be
accessed and managed by the intended user only.

5.4 SOFTWARE QUALITY ATTRIBUTES

Not applicable.
