HPath-IO

Gitter chat Hackage version Build Status Hackage-Deps

High-level IO operations on files/directories, utilizing type-safe Paths.

This package is part of the HPath suite, also check out hpath and hpath-filepath.

Motivation

The motivation came during development of 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
