    Returns the time that the given file was last modified. If the

    A frequent usage pattern occurs in build automation tools such as
    $(WEB gnu.org/software/make, make) or $(WEB
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Ant, ant). To check whether file $(D
    target) must be rebuilt from file $(D source) (i.e., $(D target) is
    older than $(D source) or does not exist), use the comparison
    below. The code throws a $(D FileException) if $(D source) does not
    exist (as it should). On the other hand, the $(D SysTime.min) default
    makes a non-existing $(D target) seem infinitely old so the test
    correctly prompts building it.

    Params:
        name            = The name of the file to get the modification time for.
        returnIfMissing = The time to return if the given file does not exist.

            The reason why we use stat (and not access) here is
            the quirky behavior of access for SUID programs: if
            we used access, a file may not appear to "exist",
            despite that the program would be able to open it
            just fine. The behavior in question is described as
            follows in the access man page:

            > The check is done using the calling process's real
            > UID and GID, rather than the effective IDs as is
            > done when actually attempting an operation (e.g.,
            > open(2)) on the file. This allows set-user-ID
            > programs to easily determine the invoking user's
            > authority.

            While various operating systems provide eaccess or
            euidaccess functions, these are not part of POSIX -
            so it's safer to use stat instead.

 Returns the attributes of the given file.

 Note that the file attributes on Windows and Posix systems are
 completely different. On Windows, they're what is returned by $(WEB
 msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364944(v=vs.85).aspx,
 GetFileAttributes), whereas on Posix systems, they're the $(LUCKY
 st_mode) value which is part of the $(D stat struct) gotten by
 calling the $(WEB en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stat_%28Unix%29, $(D stat))
 function.

 On Posix systems, if the given file is a symbolic link, then
 attributes are the attributes of the file pointed to by the symbolic
 link.

    On Windows, getLinkAttributes is identical to getAttributes. It exists on
    Windows so that you don't have to special-case code for Windows when dealing
    with symbolic links.

    Returns whether the given file (or directory) is a file.

    On Windows, if a file is not a directory, then it's a file. So,

    possible for both $(D isFile) and $(D isDir) to be $(D false) for a

        Info on a file, similar to what you'd get from stat on a Posix system.

        A $(D DirEntry) is obtained by using the functions $(D dirEntry) (to get
        the $(D DirEntry) for a specific file) or $(D dirEntries) (to get a
        $(D DirEntry) for each file/directory in a particular directory).
      +/
    struct DirEntry
    {
        void _init(T...)(T);
    public:

        /++
            Returns the path to the file represented by this $(D DirEntry).

Examples:
--------------------
auto de1 = dirEntry("/etc/fonts/fonts.conf");
assert(de1.name == "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf");

auto de2 = dirEntry("/usr/share/include");
assert(de2.name == "/usr/share/include");
--------------------
          +/
        @property string name() const;


        /++
            Returns whether the file represented by this $(D DirEntry) is a
            directory.

Examples:
--------------------
auto de1 = dirEntry("/etc/fonts/fonts.conf");
assert(!de1.isDir);

auto de2 = dirEntry("/usr/share/include");
assert(de2.isDir);
--------------------
          +/
        @property bool isDir();


        /++
            Returns whether the file represented by this $(D DirEntry) is a file.

            On Windows, if a file is not a directory, then it's a file. So,
            either $(D isFile) or $(D isDir) will return $(D true).

            On Posix systems, if $(D isFile) is $(D true), that indicates that
            the file is a regular file (e.g. not a block not device). So, on
            Posix systems, it's possible for both $(D isFile) and $(D isDir) to
            be $(D false) for a particular file (in which case, it's a special
            file). You can use $(D attributes) or $(D statBuf) to get more
            information about a special file (see the stat man page for more
            details).

Examples:
--------------------
auto de1 = dirEntry("/etc/fonts/fonts.conf");
assert(de1.isFile);

auto de2 = dirEntry("/usr/share/include");
assert(!de2.isFile);

            link or a junction point.

            Returns the time that the file represented by this $(D DirEntry) was
            last accessed.

            Note that many file systems do not update the access time for files
            (generally for performance reasons), so there's a good chance that
            $(D timeLastAccessed) will return the same value as
            $(D timeLastModified).
          +/
        @property SysTime timeLastAccessed();

        /++
            Returns the time that the file represented by this $(D DirEntry) was
            last modified.
          +/
        @property SysTime timeLastModified();

        /++
            Returns the attributes of the file represented by this $(D DirEntry).

            Note that the file attributes on Windows and Posix systems are
            completely different. On, Windows, they're what is returned by
            $(D GetFileAttributes)
            $(WEB msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364944(v=vs.85).aspx, GetFileAttributes)
            Whereas, an Posix systems, they're the $(D st_mode) value which is
            part of the $(D stat) struct gotten by calling $(D stat).

            On Posix systems, if the file represented by this $(D DirEntry) is a
            symbolic link, then attributes are the attributes of the file
            pointed to by the symbolic link.

        /++
            On Posix systems, if the file represented by this $(D DirEntry) is a
            symbolic link, then $(D linkAttributes) are the attributes of the
            symbolic link itself. Otherwise, $(D linkAttributes) is identical to
            $(D attributes).

            On Windows, $(D linkAttributes) is identical to $(D attributes). It
            exists on Windows so that you don't have to special-case code for

/++
    Returns an input range of DirEntry that lazily iterates a given directory,
    also provides two ways of foreach iteration. The iteration variable can be of
    type $(D_PARAM string) if only the name is needed, or $(D_PARAM DirEntry)
    if additional details are needed. The span mode dictates the how the
    directory is traversed. The name of the each directory entry iterated
    contains the absolute path.

    Params:
        path = The directory to iterate over.
        mode = Whether the directory's sub-directories should be iterated
               over depth-first ($(D_PARAM depth)), breadth-first
               ($(D_PARAM breadth)), or not at all ($(D_PARAM shallow)).
        followSymlink = Whether symbolic links which point to directories
                         should be treated as directories and their contents
                         iterated over.

    Throws:
        $(D FileException) if the directory does not exist.

Examples:
--------------------
// Iterate a directory in depth
foreach (string name; dirEntries("destroy/me", SpanMode.depth))
{
 remove(name);
}
// Iterate a directory in breadth
foreach (string name; dirEntries(".", SpanMode.breadth))
{
 writeln(name);
}
// Iterate a directory and get detailed info about it
foreach (DirEntry e; dirEntries("dmd-testing", SpanMode.breadth))
{
 writeln(e.name, "\t", e.size);
}
// Iterate over all *.d files in current directory and all its subdirectories
auto dFiles = filter!`endsWith(a.name,".d")`(dirEntries(".",SpanMode.depth));
foreach(d; dFiles)

/**
Returns the path to a directory for temporary files.

On Windows, this function returns the result of calling the Windows API function
$(D $(LINK2 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364992.aspx, GetTempPath)).

On POSIX platforms, it searches through the following list of directories
and returns the first one which is found to exist:
$(OL
    $(LI The directory given by the $(D TMPDIR) environment variable.)
    $(LI The directory given by the $(D TEMP) environment variable.)
    $(LI The directory given by the $(D TMP) environment variable.)
    $(LI $(D /tmp))
    $(LI $(D /var/tmp))
    $(LI $(D /usr/tmp))
)

On all platforms, $(D tempDir) returns $(D ".") on failure, representing
the current working directory.

The return value of the function is cached, so the procedures described
above will only be performed the first time the function is called.  All
subsequent runs will return the same string, regardless of whether
environment variables and directory structures have changed in the
meantime.

The POSIX $(D tempDir) algorithm is inspired by Python's
$(D $(LINK2 http://docs.python.org/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.tempdir, tempfile.tempdir)).
