# Getting Started
## LibHac Interfaces
LibHac uses several interfaces for reading and writing data and files. These are based off the interfaces used by Horizon OS.
### IStorage
`IStorage` is an interface that LibHac uses for reading and writing data.
An `IStorage` is similar to a .NET `Stream`, but an `IStorage` does not keep track of its position. An offset must be provided on every read.
`IStorage` uses byte Spans for reading and writing data. The length of the data read or written is equal to the length of the provided span.
### IFile
`IFile` is similar to `IStorage` with slight differences.
- `IFile` can automatically grow if data is written past the end of the file. `IStorage` does not grow by default.
- When more bytes are requested than there are bytes available,
`IFile` will read as many bytes as it can and return the number of bytes read. `IStorage` will throw an exception.
### IFileSystem
This is an interface for representing a standard file system. It provides functionality for reading files, navigating the file system, creating files, etc.
## Using LibHac
### Loading Keys
Most of LibHac's functionality requires a `Keyset` object that holds encryption keys required for reading content.
This can be done by loading keys from an external text file, or by creating a new `Keyset` and copying the keys into it.
```
Keyset keyset = ExternalKeys.ReadKeyFile("common_key_file", "title_key_file", "console_key_file");
```
The text files should follow the format as specified [here](../KEYS.md).
### Reading an NCA
Open an NCA and get an `IStorage` of the decrypted file.
```
using (IStorage inFile = new LocalStorage("filename.nca", FileAccess.Read))
{
var nca = new Nca(keyset, inFile);
IStorage decryptedNca = nca.OpenDecryptedNca();
}
```
Open an NCA's code section.
```
using (IStorage inFile = new LocalStorage("filename.nca", FileAccess.Read))
{
var nca = new Nca(keyset, inFile);
IStorage section = nca.OpenStorage(NcaSectionType.Code, IntegrityCheckLevel.ErrorOnInvalid);
}
```
Open an NCA's data section as an `IFileSystem`.
```
using (IStorage inFile = new LocalStorage("filename.nca", FileAccess.Read))
{
var nca = new Nca(keyset, inFile);
IFileSystem fileSystem = nca.OpenFileSystem(NcaSectionType.Data, IntegrityCheckLevel.None);
}
```
Extension methods are provided for common operations on LibHac interfaces.
`IFileSystem.CopyFileSystem` will fully copy the contents of one `IFileSystem` to another.
```
using (IStorage inFile = new LocalStorage("filename.nca", FileAccess.Read))
{
var nca = new Nca(keyset, inFile);
var outFileSystem = new LocalFileSystem("extracted_path");
IFileSystem fileSystem = nca.OpenFileSystem(NcaSectionType.Data, IntegrityCheckLevel.ErrorOnInvalid);
fileSystem.CopyFileSystem(outFileSystem);
}
```
Open a patched NCA.
```
using (IStorage baseFile = new LocalStorage("base.nca", FileAccess.Read))
using (IStorage patchFile = new LocalStorage("base.nca", FileAccess.Read))
{
var baseNca = new Nca(keyset, baseFile);
var patchNca = new Nca(keyset, patchFile);
IFileSystem fileSystem = baseNca.OpenFileSystemWithPatch(patchNca, NcaSectionType.Data,
IntegrityCheckLevel.ErrorOnInvalid);
}
```
### IFileSystem Operations
Open a file and read the first 0x4000 bytes.
```
using (IStorage inFile = new LocalStorage("filename.nca", FileAccess.Read))
{
var nca = new Nca(keyset, inFile);
IFileSystem fileSystem = nca.OpenFileSystem(NcaSectionType.Data, IntegrityCheckLevel.ErrorOnInvalid);
var buffer = new byte[0x4000];
IFile myFile = fileSystem.OpenFile("/my/file/path.ext", OpenMode.Read);
int bytesRead = myFile.Read(buffer, 0);
}
```
An `IDirectory` can be used to enumerate the file system entries in a directory.
