High-level IO operations on files/directories, utilizing type-safe Paths. This uses [hpath-directory ](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hpath-directory ) under the hood.

This package is part of the HPath suite, also check out:
* [hpath ](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hpath )
* [hpath-directory ](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hpath-directory )
* [hpath-filepath ](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hpath-filepath )

## Motivation
The motivation came during development of
[hsfm ](https://github.com/hasufell/hsfm )
in order to have a proper high-level API of file related operations,
while utilizing type-safe Paths.
## Goals
* high-level API to file operations like recursive directory copy
* still allowing sufficient control to interact with the underlying low-level calls
* unit-testing exceptions (because yes, people may rely on them)
Note: this library was written for __posix__ systems and it will probably not support other systems.
