Directory and File Functions

The following directory and file functions should be used in Zend modules. They behave exactly like their C counterparts, but provide virtual working directory support on the thread level.

V_GETCWD() getcwd()
V_FOPEN() fopen()
V_OPEN() open()
V_CHDIR() chdir()
V_GETWD() getwd()
V_CHDIR_FILE() Takes a file path as an argument and changes the current working directory to that file's directory.
V_STAT() stat()
