+//! A `&str` known at compile time can be converted to a [`Path`] using the

+//! ```no_run
+//! use uefi::CString16;
+//! use uefi::fs::{FileSystem, FileSystemResult};
+//! use uefi::prelude::BootServices;
+//! use uefi::proto::media::fs::SimpleFileSystem;

+//!     let mut fs = FileSystem::new(fs);
+//!     fs.read(path.as_ref())

 //! # API Hints
 //! There is no `File` abstraction as in the Rust `std` library. Instead, it is
 //! intended to work with the file system via dedicated functions, similar to
 //! the public functions of the `std::fs` module.
 //!
 //! There is no automatic synchronization of the file system for concurrent
 //! accesses. This is in the responsibility of the user.
