\f[C]
#include\ <allegro5/allegro_physfs.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This function sets \f[I]both\f[] the ALLEGRO_FILE_INTERFACE(3alleg5) and
ALLEGRO_FS_INTERFACE(3alleg5) for the calling thread.
.PP
Subsequent calls to al_fopen(3alleg5) on the calling thread will be
handled by PHYSFS_open().
Operations on the files returned by al_fopen(3alleg5) will then be
performed through PhysicsFS.
Calls to the Allegro filesystem functions, such as
al_read_directory(3alleg5) or al_create_fs_entry(3alleg5), on the
calling thread will be diverted to PhysicsFS.
.PP
To remember and restore another file I/O backend, you can use
al_store_state(3alleg5)/al_restore_state(3alleg5).

\f[I]Note:\f[] due to an oversight, this function differs from
al_set_new_file_interface(3alleg5) and
al_set_standard_file_interface(3alleg5) which only alter the current
ALLEGRO_FILE_INTERFACE(3alleg5).

\f[I]Note:\f[] PhysFS does not support the text\-mode reading and
writing, which means that Windows\-style newlines will not be preserved.
