+:mod:`os` --- basic "operating system" services
+===============================================
+
+.. module:: os
+   :synopsis: basic "operating system" services
+
+The ``os`` module contains functions for filesystem access and ``urandom``.
+
+The filesystem has ``/`` as the root directory, and the available physical
+drives are accessible from here.  They are currently:
+
+    /flash      -- the internal flash filesystem
+    /sd         -- the SD card (if it exists)
+
+On boot up, the current directory is ``/flash`` if no SD card is inserted,
+otherwise it is ``/sd``.
+
