-\section mod_dev_services Getting Access to Services
+A Services class is provided to give developers access to the services provided by the Autopsy framework. Currently, the following
+services are provided:
-Autopsy-Core module contains the core Autopsy application, and also the framework the application is built upon that other modules can use.
-Among the Core APIs there are general services available to the Autopsy modules. The relevant packages include:
+- FileManager: the org.sleuthkit.autopsy.casemodule.services.FileManager service provides an API for easy access to files and directories for a given image.
+You can access the org.sleuthkit.autopsy.casemodule.services.FileManager service by calling the getFileManager() method of the
+org.sleuthkit.autopsy.casemodule.services.Services class.

\section platform_basics Basic Concepts
- Central Database: All data except for the disk image is stored in a SQLite database. This includes information about what files exist in the disk image and the output from modules. Access to this database can be found from the SleuthKitCase class.
-- Services: There are core services that the platform provides to modules. See the \ref mod_dev_services section for more details.
+- Utilities: There are core utilities that the platform provides to modules. See the \ref mod_dev_utilities section for more details.
+- Services: There are services provided by the platform. See the \ref mod_dev_services section for more details.
- Pipelines and Plug-in Modules: The platform has several places where plug-in modules can be incorporated. This modular approach allows other developers to extend the functionality of the system. See the \ref platform_frameworks section for more details.
- Blackboard: The platform uses the blackboard to enable modules to communicate with each other and to display data in the GUI. See the \ref platform_blackboard section for more details.
- Single tree: Results from the various modules can generally be found in a single tree. This makes it easy for users to find their results.
