//! # Schemes
//! A scheme is a primitive for handling filesystem syscalls in Redox.
//! Schemes accept paths from the kernel for `open`, and file descriptors that they generate
//! are then passed for operations like `close`, `read`, `write`, etc.
//!
//! The kernel validates paths and file descriptors before they are passed to schemes,
//! also stripping the scheme identifier of paths if necessary.
