Filesystem-level functions
==========================

   The following functions operate on a filesystem handle.  Most EXT2FS
Library functions require a filesystem handle as their first argument.
There are two functions which create a filesystem handle, `ext2fs_open'
and `ext2fs_initialize'.

   The filesystem can also be closed using `ext2fs_close', and any
changes to the superblock and group descripts can be written out to disk
using `ext2fs_flush'.
