Support high-level IO operations on files/directories, utilizing ByteString
as FilePaths.

This package is part of the HPath suite, also check out:

* [hpath](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hpath)
* [hpath-filepath](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hpath-filepath)
* [hpath-io](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hpath-io)

## Motivation

This is basically a fork of [directory](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/directory), but is a complete rewrite and the API doesn't follow the directory package.

## 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
