- Add remaining docs for the turtle API
- Add documentation for the fluid storage peripheral.
- Enforce undocumented warning for most modules (only io and window
remaining).
"Finish" in quotes, because these are clearly a long way from perfect.
I'm bad at writing docs, OK!
This probably fails "responsible disclosure", but it's not an RCE and
frankly the whole bug is utterly hilarious so here we are...
It's possible to open a file on a disk drive and continue to read/write
to them after the disk has been removed:
local disk = peripheral.find("drive")
local input = fs.open(fs.combine(disk.getMountPath(), "stream"), "rb")
local output = fs.open(fs.combine(disk.getMountPath(), "stream"), "wb")
disk.ejectDisk()
-- input/output can still be interacted with.
This is pretty amusing, as now it allows us to move the disk somewhere
else and repeat - we've now got a private tunnel which two computers can
use to communicate.
Fixing this is intuitively quite simple - just close any open files
belonging to this mount. However, this is where things get messy thanks
to the wonderful joy of how CC's streams are handled.
As things stand, the filesystem effectively does the following flow::
- There is a function `open : String -> Channel' (file modes are
irrelevant here).
- Once a file is opened, we transform it into some <T extends
Closeable>. This is, for instance, a BufferedReader.
- We generate a "token" (i.e. FileSystemWrapper<T>), which we generate
a week reference to and map it to a tuple of our Channel and T. If
this token is ever garbage collected (someone forgot to call close()
on a file), then we close our T and Channel.
- This token and T are returned to the calling function, which then
constructs a Lua object.
The problem here is that if we close the underlying Channel+T before the
Lua object calls .close(), then it won't know the underlying channel is
closed, and you get some pretty ugly errors (e.g. "Stream Closed"). So
we've moved the "is open" state into the FileSystemWrapper<T>.
The whole system is incredibly complex at this point, and I'd really
like to clean it up. Ideally we could treat the HandleGeneric as the
token instead - this way we could potentially also clean up
FileSystemWrapperMount.
BBut something to play with in the future, and not when it's 10:30pm.

All this wall of text, and this isn't the only bug I've found with disks
today :/.
