|
|
High-level IO operations on files/directories, utilizing type-safe Paths.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Differences to 'posix-paths'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* has a custom versions of `openFd` which allows more control over the flags than its unix package counterpart
|
||
|
|
* adds a `getDirectoryContents'` version that works on Fd
