Name: pathtype Version: 0.0.1 Synopsis: Type-safe replacement for System.FilePath etc Description: This module provides type-safe access to filepath manipulations. . It is designed to be imported instead of 'System.FilePath' and 'System.Directory' and is intended to provide versions of functions from those modules which have equivalent functionality but are more typesafe. . The heart of this module is the @Path ar fd@ abstract type which represents file and directory paths. The idea is that there are two phantom type parameters - the first should be 'Abs' or 'Rel', and the second 'File' or 'Dir'. A number of type synonyms are provided for common types: . > type AbsFile = Path Abs File > type RelFile = Path Rel File > type AbsDir = Path Abs Dir > type RelDir = Path Rel Dir > type RelPath fd = Path Rel fd > type DirPath ar = Path ar Dir . The type of the 'combine' (aka '') function gives the idea: . > () :: DirPath ar -> RelPath fd -> Path ar fd . Together this enables us to give more meaningful types to a lot of the functions, and (hopefully) catch a bunch more errors at compile time. . The basic API (and properties satisfied) are heavily influenced by Neil Mitchell's 'System.FilePath' module. .
