Always true for a directory.

Always false for a directory.

*l = sub {-l shift->bare};
=head2 bare
Stringify without the trailing slash/assertion.
my $str = $self->bare;
The trailing slash causes trouble when trying to address a symlink to a
directory via a dir object. Thus, C<-l $dir> doesn't work, but
C<$dir-E<gt>l> does the same thing as C<-l $dir-E<gt>bare>.

=head2 part
Returns the $i'th part of the directory list.
my $part = $dir->part($i);
$dir->part(-1) is like $dir->basename, but not an object and not quite
like File::Basename::basename() when it comes to the / directory.

Shorthand for part(-1);

=head2 parts
Retrieve the inner list of the directory's parts.
my @parts = $dir->parts;
my @parts = $dir->parts(0..2);
The returned parts will be contiguous, but the request can be a
two-element list (and can also start or end at negative indices.)
my @parts = $dir->parts(3, 7);
my @parts = $dir->parts(3, -1);
my @parts = $dir->parts(-5, -1);

########################################################################
=head2 map
Execute a callback on each part of $dir. The sub should modify $_ (yes,
this is slightly unlike the map() builtin.)
If $parts is defined as an integer or array reference of integers, it
will be treated as a slice on the directory parts to which the map
should be applied.
$dir->map(sub {...}, [@parts]);
$dir &= sub {s/foo$/bar/};
So, to modify only the first directory part:
$dir->map(sub {s/foo$/bar/}, 0);

dirname('.') and basename('.') are both '.' -- also true for '/'

=head1 Doing stuff
=head2 open
Calls opendir(), but throws an error if it fails.
my $dh = $dir->open;
Returns a directory handle, for e.g. readdir().
my @files = map({$dir + $_} grep({$_ !~ m/^\./} readdir($dh)));
=cut
sub open :method {

opendir(my $dh, "$self") or die "cannot opendir '$self' $!";

########################################################################
=head2 contents
Equivelant to readdir. With the 'all' option true, returns hidden names
too (but not the '.' and '..' entries.)
The return values are strings, not File::Fu objects.
my @names = $dir->contents(all => 1);
=cut

########################################################################
=head2 find
Recursively search a directory's contents for items where the supplied
coderef (matcher) returns true. The matcher will be invoked with the
topic (C<$_>) set to the current path (which is either a Dir or File
object.) The return values will be File::Fu::File or File::Fu::Dir
objects.
If your matcher returns true, the topic will be added to the return
values.
my @paths = $dir->find(sub {m/foo/});
There is a knob for controlling recursion, which is the first argument
to your matcher.
my @pm_files = $dir->find(sub {
return shift->prune
if($_->is_dir and $_->part(-1) =~ m/^\.svn$/);
$_->is_file and m/\.pm$/;
});
=over
=item Differences from File::Find::find()
The invocant (C<$dir> aka '.') is not examined (because this is an
object method, there is always only one starting path.)
The topic is always absolute in the same sense as the invocant. That
is, if C<$dir> is relative to your current directory, then so are the
topics and return values. If C<$dir> is absolute, so are the topics and
return values.
=back
=cut
sub find {
my $self = shift;

my $finder = $self->finder(@_);
while(defined(my $ans = $finder->())) {

push(@return, $ans);
}
return(@return);
} # end subroutine find definition
########################################################################
=head2 finder
Returns an iterator for finding files. This iterator does everything
that find() does, but returns one path at a time. Returns undef when
exhausted and zero when it is just taking a break.
my $subref = $dir->finder(sub {$_->is_file and $_->file =~ m/foo/});
This allows a non-blocking find.
while(defined(my $path = $subref->())) {
$path or next; # 0 means 'not done yet'
# do something with $path (a file or dir object)
}
The find() method is implemented in terms of finder() by simply using a
while() loop and accumulating the return values.
=cut

########################################################################
=head2 The FindKnob object
The FindKnob object allows you to control the next steps of find().
Methods called on it will typically return a value which also makes
sense as a return value of your matcher sub. Thus the idiom:
$dir->find(sub {return shift->prune if(condition); ...})
=over
=item prune
Do not recurse into the topic directory. Returns false.
