## 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.
The fs module provides filesystem functions to Hilbish. While Lua's standard
library has some I/O functions, they're missing a lot of the basics. The `fs`
library offers more functions and will work on any operating system Hilbish does.
## Functions

#### Parameters
This function has no parameters.
`string` **`pattern`**
Pattern to compare files with.
#### Example
```lua
--[[
Within a folder that contains the following files:
a.txt
init.lua
code.lua

</h4>
Takes paths and joins them together with the OS's
directory separator (forward or backward slash).
Takes any list of paths and joins them based on the operating system's path separator.
#### Parameters
This function has no parameters.
`string` **`path`** (This type is variadic. You can pass an infinite amount of parameters with this type.)
Paths to join together
#### Example
```lua
-- This prints the directory for Hilbish's config!
print(fs.join(hilbish.userDir.config, 'hilbish'))

-- This will create the directory foo, then create the directory bar in the
-- foo directory. If recursive is false in this case, it will fail.
fs.mkdir('./foo/bar', true)
#### Parameters
This function has no parameters.
