fs - File system utilities for Clojure

API docs

This library defines some utilities for working with the file system in Clojure. Mostly, it wants to fill the gap that clojure.java.io leaves and add on (and prettify) what java.io.File provides.

NOTE: this library is in maintenance mode. Consider to use datoteka as a modern alternative if you are on JDK8 or greater.

Usage

This library is simple. It is just a collection of functions that do things with the file system. The one thing you should understand is *cwd*. This library wraps a lot of built-in Java file systemy things because it pays attention to the *cwd* as the current working directory. Java has no way to change the cwd of a JVM so if you want that behavior, you have to simulate it. This library tries to do that.

The foundation of the library is the file function. It is just like clojure.java.io/file, but it pays attention to the value of *cwd*.

This is 100% a utility library. If you have something useful that it doesn't already have, open a pull request, because I probably want it. Make sure you include tests. Also, make sure they pass.

fs is not an I/O utility library. We should try to keep things limited to file system activities.
