There's a convenience method to get an OC_FilesystemView for the current user 
under a folder named by the app id:

  $view = OC_App::getStorage('impressionist');

Then you can use the methods which are named by existing PHP function calls 
for example:

  $view->file_put_contents('/myfile.txt','some text');

You can find all available methods in the core repository in 
lib/filesystemview.php
