An simple & lightweight file system API library. This library abstracts away the mess that working with std::path and std::fs modules is, and exposes some functions you'd often use in your application (e.g. reading files, writing to files, checking if a file exists, etc).

Module overview:

• path - general path operations
• dir - directory operations
• file - file operations
• types - definitions for different filetypes
• search - basic searching functionality
• env - read environment variables (not fs per se, but environment variables are often paired with fs operations, so a lightweight API was included)

Scope

This is meant to be a tiny, dependency-free repo for a more pleasant experience when working with the file system API.

While this is technically a reinvention of the wheel, the amount of cognitive strain this library saves me from when working with files is worth the effort I put into it.

Stability

Expect breaking changes at any point until version 1.0.0.
