HPath libraries

Gitter chat Build Status

Set of libraries to deal with filepaths and files.

Motivation

  • filepaths should be type-safe (absolute, relative, ...)
  • filepaths should be ByteString under the hood, see Abstract FilePath Proposal (AFPP)
  • file high-level operations should be platform-specific, exception-stable, safe and as atomic as possible

Projects

  • Hackage version hpath: Support for well-typed paths
  • Hackage version hpath-filepath: ByteString based filepath manipulation (can be used without hpath)
  • Hackage version hpath-io: high-level file API (recursive copy, writeFile etc.) using hpath
