# File System Example This example shows how the `file_system` component can be used to manage files on a [littlefs](https://github.com/littlefs-project/littlefs) file system (wrapping the associated [esp_littlefs component](https://github.com/joltwallet/esp_littlefs)). The example further shows how POSIX / newlib APIs can be used alongside (most of) the `std::filesystem` APIs. ## How to use example ### Build and Flash Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output: ``` idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` (Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.) (To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.) See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects. ## Example Output 
To create a project from this example, run:
idf.py create-project-from-example "espp/file_system=0.21.0:example"
