Need a way to set working directory

[jockm]

Right now it appears that IonDB assumes that when opening a file it is at the root of the filesystem. This may not always be the case. There are any number of reasons why one might like a database placed in a specific folder.

For example, in my case I am using IonDB on a ARM microcontroller using the mBed RTOS. mBed uses mountable filesystems. In my case I have a SPI Flash based LittleFileSystem mounted at /ifs (and the SD card, if there is one, at /sd), so I need to make sure that all databases are created at /ifs if not lower in the directory structure.

I am happy to tackle this, but would appreciate some guidance as to the "IonDB-way" approach

Hello. Thanks for wanting to be involved. Details on how to develop/contribute to the project are here: https://github.com/iondbproject/iondb/wiki

I should have been more clear, I had read the wiki. I was looking for some suggestion on the api level for the most ionDB way to do that. For example refactoring all the calls to take a full path and not just a name, a set working directory call, etc

I want to make a pull request that has the greatest chance of being accepted
