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.

## 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.
