/**
 * A reference to a directory (or _folder_) on the file system.
 *
 * A Directory instance is an object holding a [path] on which operations can
 * be performed. The path to the directory can be [absolute] or relative.
 * You can get the parent directory using the getter [parent],
 * a property inherited from [FileSystemEntity].
 *
 * In addition to being used as an instance to access the file system,
 * Directory has a number of static properties, such as [systemTemp],
 * which gets the system's temporary directory, and the getter and setter
 * [current], which you can use to access or change the current directory.
 *
 * Create a new Directory object with a pathname to access the specified
 * directory on the file system from your program.
 *
 *     var myDir = new Directory('myDir');
 *
 * Most methods in this class occur in synchronous and asynchronous pairs,
 * for example, [create] and [createSync].
 * Unless you have a specific reason for using the synchronous version
 * of a method, prefer the asynchronous version to avoid blocking your program.
 *
 * ## Create a directory
 *
 * The following code sample creates a directory using the [create] method.
 * By setting the `recursive` parameter to true, you can create the
 * named directory and all its necessary parent directories,
 * if they do not already exist.
 *
 *     import 'dart:io';
 *
 *     void main() {
 *       // Creates dir/ and dir/subdir/.
 *       new Directory('dir/subdir').create(recursive: true)
 *         // The created directory is returned as a Future.
 *         .then((Directory directory) {
 *           print(directory.path);
 *       });
 *     }
 *
 * ## List a directory
 *
 * Use the [list] or [listSync] methods to get the files and directories
 * contained by a directory.
 * Set `recursive` to true to recursively list all subdirectories.
 * Set `followLinks` to true to follow symbolic links.
 * The list method returns a [Stream] that provides FileSystemEntity
 * objects. Use the listen callback function to process each object
 * as it become available.
 *
 *     import 'dart:io';
 *
 *     void main() {
 *       // Get the system temp directory.
 *       var systemTempDir = Directory.systemTemp;
 *
 *       // List directory contents, recursing into sub-directories,
 *       // but not following symbolic links.
 *       systemTempDir.list(recursive: true, followLinks: false)
 *         .listen((FileSystemEntity entity) {
 *           print(entity.path);
 *         });
 *     }
 *
 * ## The use of Futures
 *
 * I/O operations can block a program for some period of time while it waits for
 * the operation to complete. To avoid this, all
 * methods involving I/O have an asynchronous variant which returns a [Future].
 * This future completes when the I/O operation finishes. While the I/O
 * operation is in progress, the Dart program is not blocked,
 * and can perform other operations.
 *
 * For example,
 * the [exists] method, which determines whether the directory exists,
 * returns a boolean value using a Future.
 * Use `then` to register a callback function, which is called when
 * the value is ready.
 *
 *     import 'dart:io';
 *
 *     main() {
 *       final myDir = new Directory('dir');
 *       myDir.exists().then((isThere) {
 *         isThere ? print('exists') : print('non-existent');
 *       });
 *     }
 *
 *
 * In addition to exists, the [stat], [rename], and
 * other methods, return Futures.
 *
 * ## Other resources
 *
 * * [Dart by Example](https://www.dartlang.org/dart-by-example/#files-directories-and-symlinks)
 *   provides additional task-oriented code samples that show how to use
 *   various API from the Directory class and the related [File] class.
 *
 * * [I/O for Command-Line
 *   Apps](https://www.dartlang.org/docs/dart-up-and-running/ch03.html#dartio---io-for-command-line-apps)
 *   a section from _A Tour of the Dart Libraries_ covers files and directories.
 *
 * * [Write Command-Line Apps](https://www.dartlang.org/docs/tutorials/cmdline/),
 *   a tutorial about writing command-line apps, includes information about
 *   files and directories.
