# FSVolume.Operations

Methods that all volumes implement to provide required capabilities.

## Declaration

```swift
protocol Operations : FSVolume.PathConfOperations
```

## Overview

Overview Conform to this protocol in your subclass of FSVolume. To provide additional capabilities, conform to the other FSVolume operations protocols, such as FSVolume.OpenCloseOperations and FSVolume.ReadWriteOperations. note: This protocol extends FSVolume.PathConfOperations, so your volume implementation must also conform to that protocol. note: Use FSVolume.Handler instead.
