The `uos` module contains functions for filesystem access and `urandom` function.
## Port Specifics
The filesystem has `/` as the root directory and the available physical drives are accessible from here. They are currently:
* `/flash` the internal flash filesystem
* `/sd` the SD card (if it exists)
## Methods
#### uos.uname()
Return information about the system, firmware release version, and MicroPython interpreter version.
#### uos.chdir(path)
Change current directory.
#### uos.getcwd()
Get the current directory.
#### uos.listdir(\[dir\])
With no argument, list the current directory. Otherwise list the given directory.
#### uos.mkdir(path)
Create a new directory.
#### uos.remove(path)
Remove a file.
#### uos.rmdir(path)
Remove a directory.
#### uos.rename(old\_path, new\_path)
Rename a file.
#### uos.stat(path)
Get the status of a file or directory.
The return value is a tuple with the following 10 values, in order:
* `st_mode`: protection bits.
* `st_ino`: `inode` number. (not implemented, returns 0)
* `st_dev`: device. (not implemented, returns 0)
* `st_nlink`: number of hard links. (not implemented, returns 0)
* `st_uid`: user id of owner. (not implemented, returns 0)
* `st_gid`: group id of owner. (not implemented, returns 0)
* `st_size`: size of file in bytes.
* `st_atime`: time of most recent access.
* `st_mtime`: time of most recent content modification.
* `st_ctime`: time of most recent metadata change.
#### uos.getfree(path)
Returns the free space (in KiB) in the drive specified by path.
#### uos.sync()
Sync all filesystems.
#### uos.urandom(n)
Return a bytes object with n random bytes.
#### uos.unlink(path)
Alias for the `remove()` method.
#### uos.mount(block\_device, mount\_point, \* , readonly=False)
Mounts a block device (like an SD object) in the specified mount point. Example:
```python
uos.mount(sd, '/sd')
```
#### uos.umount(mount\_point)
Unmounts a previously mounted block device from the specified mount point. Example:
```python
uos.umount('/sd')
```
#### uos.mkfs(block\_device or path)
Formats the specified path, must be either `/flash` or `/sd`. A block device can also be passed like an SD object before being mounted.
#### uos.dupterm(stream\_object)
Duplicate the terminal (the REPL) on the passed stream-like object. The given object must at least implement the `read()` and `write()` methods.
## Constants
* `uos.sep`: Separation character used in paths
