17.4.3 Filesystem Namespace

As described above, access to the filesystem namespace is is provided by the client OS. The POSIX library uses the namespace COM object to translate multi component pathnames (paths with '/' in them) into oskit_file and oskit_dir references. The namespace object also provides symbolic link translation and mountpoint traversal (see Section 20).
