Usage example

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I haven’t found any docs at all.

I came here from 
http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-extensions/browse_frm/thr
ead/0372dfd06d94f55a/63a422b834ccb36a#63a422b834ccb36a. I wonder, does it 
provide JS API such as the following or not?

<embed type="application/x-my-extension" id="fs"> 
<script> 
  var fs = document.getElementById("fs"); 
  fs.writeFile("/Users/nv/dummy.txt", "bla-blah", function(err) { 
    if (!err) console.log("Hooray!"); 
  }); 
</script>

From looking at the source, it is a synchronous api, so you would do something 
like that.

    plugin.saveTextFile("C://foo/bar.txt", "Hello World");

Since it is cross platform between Windows/Linux (no NPAPI entry point for 
Mac), you can get the platform by doing 

   getPlatform() === 'windows'

Something along those lines. Tne plugin entry points are available here:

/npapi-file-io.cpp

Thanks, saveTextFile is what I was looking for. If only it worked on Mac...

Given that packing and/or using this plugin incorrectly gives every web page in 
the world read/write access to every file on the computer of a user who 
installs an extension using it, correct usage guidelines with giant warnings 
about what not to do would be a really good idea.
