Done.

20 virtual file systems, which are available in the file manager on Chrome OS. | |
21 Use cases include decompressing archives and accessing files in a cloud | |
22 service other than Drive. | |
23 </p> | |
24 | |
25 <h2 id="archives">File handlers</h2> | |
26 <p> | |
27 Provided file systems can either provide file system contents from an external | |
28 source (such as a remote server), or using a local file (such as an archive) as | |
29 its input. | |
30 </p> | |
31 <p> | |
32 In the second case, the providing extension should have a | |
33 <a href="manifest/file_handlers">file_handlers</a> manifest entry in order | |
34 to be launched when the file is selected in the file manager. | |
35 When the extension is executed with a file to be handled, it has to mount a | |
36 file system and start serving contents from the provided file. | |
37 </p> | |
38 | |
39 <h2 id="archives">Life cycle</h2> | |
40 <p> | |
41 Provided file systems once mounted are remembered by Chrome and remounted | |
42 automatically after reboot or restart. Hence, once a file system is | |
43 <a href="method-mount">mounted</a> by a providing extension, it will stay until | |
44 either the extension is unloaded, or the extension calls the | |
45 <a href="#method-unmount"> unmount</a> method. | |
46 </p> | |
47 <p> | |
48 In case of acting as a file handler, the handled file may need to be stored | |
49 to access it after either a reboot, or suspending and resuming an event page | |
50 of the providing extension. In such case | |
51 <a href="fileSystem#method-retainEntry">chrome.fileSystem.retainEntry</a> and | |
52 <a href="fileSystem#method-restoreEntry">chrome.fileSystem.restoreEntry</a> | |
53 should be used. | |
54 </p> | |
