WorkerFS lets you access a BrowserFS instance that is running in a different JavaScript context (e.g. access BrowserFS in one of your WebWorkers, or access BrowserFS running on the main page from a WebWorker).

For example, to have a WebWorker access files in the main browser thread, do the following:

MAIN BROWSER THREAD:

  // Listen for remote file system requests.
  BrowserFS.FileSystem.WorkerFS.attachRemoteListener(webWorkerObject);

WEBWORKER THREAD:

  // Set the remote file system as the root file system.
  BrowserFS.configure({ fs: "WorkerFS", options: { worker: self }}, function(e) {
    // Ready!
  });

Note that synchronous operations are not permitted on the WorkerFS, regardless of the configuration option of the remote FS.
