HPath libraries

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

• hpath: Support for well-typed paths
• hpath-filepath: ByteString based filepath manipulation (can be used without hpath)
• hpath-directory: High-level IO operations for files/directories on raw ByteString filepaths (use hpath-io for the type-safe path version)
• hpath-io: High-level IO operations for files/directories utilizing type-safe Path
• hpath-posix: Some low-level POSIX glue code that is not in 'unix'
