# Module fs

filesystem interaction and functionality library

### Introduction

The fs module provides easy and simple access to filesystem functions and other things, and acts an addition to the Lua standard library’s I/O and filesystem functions.

### Functions

#### abs(path) -> string

Gives an absolute version of `path`.

#### basename(path) -> string

Gives the basename of `path`. For the rules, see Go’s filepath.Base

#### cd(dir)

Changes directory to `dir`

#### dir(path) -> string

Returns the directory part of `path`. For the rules, see Go’s filepath.Dir

#### glob(pattern) -> matches (table)

Glob all files and directories that match the pattern. For the rules, see Go’s filepath.Glob

#### join(…) -> string

Takes paths and joins them together with the OS’s directory separator (forward or backward slash).

#### mkdir(name, recursive)

Makes a directory called `name`. If `recursive` is true, it will create its parent directories.

#### readdir(dir) ->

Returns a table of files in `dir`.

#### stat(path) ->

Returns a table of info about the `path`. It contains the following keys: name (string) - Name of the path size (number) - Size of the path mode (string) - Permission mode in an octal format string (with leading 0) isDir (boolean) - If the path is a directory
