#
#            fileutils is an awesome module providing one stop
#            shopping for a broad range of shell-like file and
#            filesystem manipulations methods -- most methods even
#            take option strings that mimic the command line tools the
#            methods reproduce.  Some of the methods provided:
#
#                        cd(dir, options)
#                        cd(dir, options) {|dir| .... }
#                        pwd()
#                        mkdir(dir, options)
#                        mkdir(list, options)
#                        mkdir_p(dir, options)
#                        mkdir_p(list, options)
#                        rmdir(dir, options)
#                        rmdir(list, options)
#                        ln(old, new, options)
#                        ln(list, destdir, options)
#                        ln_s(old, new, options)
#                        ln_s(list, destdir, options)
#                        ln_sf(src, dest, options)
#                        cp(src, dest, options)
#                        cp(list, dir, options)
#                        cp_r(src, dest, options)
#                        cp_r(list, dir, options)
#                        mv(src, dest, options)

#                        install(src, dest, mode = <src's>, options)
#                        chmod(mode, list, options)
#                        chmod_R(mode, list, options)
#                        chown(user, group, list, options)
#                        chown_R(user, group, list, options)
#                        touch(list, options)
#                        copy_entry(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference = false)
#                        copy_file(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference = true)

#                        remove_file(path, force = false)
#                        compare_file(path_a, path_b)
