• pure OCaml
• file functions inspired from GNU fileutils (aiming to be POSIX compatible)
  • cp: copy files and directories
  • mv: rename files and directories
  • rm: remove files and directories
  • test: check file types and compare values
  • find: find files that match certain criteria
  • mkdir: create directory and its parents
  • ls: list content of a directory
  • touch: change file timestamps
  • which: locate a command
  • readlink: resolve symlink
  • du: compute disk usage
  • stat: abstract of Unix.stat
  • cmp: compare files
  • chmod: change permissions of a file
• filename functions support Win32/Unix/MacOS and Cygwin filenames:
  • Compare: is_subdir, is_updir, compare
  • Transform: make_absolute, make_relative, reduce
  • Extension: chop_extension, check_extension
