:mod:`os` --- basic "operating system" services
===============================================
.. module:: os
:synopsis: basic "operating system" services
The ``os`` module contains functions for filesystem access and ``urandom``.
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)
On boot up, the current directory is ``/flash`` if no SD card is inserted,
otherwise it is ``/sd``.
