       file-storage - Golf documentation (files)

DESCRIPTION

       Golf provides a file directory that you can use for any general purpose, including for storing temporary-
       files.  This  directory  is  also used for automatic upload of files from clients. It provides a two-tier
       directory system, with sub-directories automatically created to spread the files for faster access.

       Files in Golf file directory are located in the sub-directories of:

           /var/lib/gg/<app_name>/app/file

       If you wish to place this directory in another physical location, see gg.

       You can create files here by means of uniq-file, where a new unique file is created - with the file  name
       made  available  to  you.  This  directory  is also used for uploading of files from clients (such as web
       browsers or mobile device cameras) - the uploading is handled automatically by Golf (see get-param).

       In general, a number of sub-directories is created within the file directory that  contain  files,  which
       allows  for  billions of files to be kept. This scheme also allows for faster access to file nodes due to
       relatively low number of sub-directories and files randomly  spread  per  each  such  sub-directory.  The
       random spreading of files across subdirectories is done automatically.

       Do not rename file names or sub-directory names stored under file directory.
