-Path names are resolved using a distributed protocol.
-No single entity is responsible for the resolution of
-path names. A file system server (a [[translator]])
-attaches to translators (`fs.defs:file_set_translator`).
-
-When a process resolves an aboslute path, it queries
-its root file system server by invoking the `fs.defs:dir_lookup`
-method in the capability in its root directory slot. The
-file system server resolves as much as it knows about locally
-and when it encounters a translator, it replies to the client
-indicating how much it resolved and where to continue its
-lookup. This continues until the name is fully resolved
-or an error occurs. The same happens for relative path
-names but a different capability is used.
-
-For a more detailed explanation of the protocol, look at the section
-2.2 of the [[critique]].
