Files
=====

   `librep' allows you to manipulate files in the operating system's
filing system; a special type of Lisp object, a "file object", is used
to represent files which have been opened for reading or writing
(through the streams mechanism, Note: Streams).

   Names of files are represented by strings, the syntax of file names
is defined by the underlying operating system: `librep' simply treats
it as a string.

   Unless otherwise stated, all functions and variables described in the
following sections are exported by the `rep.io.files' module.

File Names: Files are named by a string
File Objects: Lisp objects representing files
File Information: Predicates on files
Manipulating Files: Deleting, renaming and copying files
Manipulating Directories: Accessing directories
Manipulating Symlinks: Handling symbolic links
File Handlers: Extending the file name-space
Remote Files: Accessing remote files
