# This library can be distributed under the terms of the Ruby license.
# You can freely distribute/modify this library.

# It is included in the Ruby standard library.
#
# == Description
#
# +ftools+ adds several (class, not instance) methods to the File class, for copying, moving,
# deleting, installing, and comparing files, as well as creating a directory path.  See the
# File class for details.
#
# +fileutils+ contains all or nearly all the same functionality and more, and is a recommended
# option over +ftools+. 
#


#
# When you
#
#   require 'ftools'
#
# then the File class aquires some utility methods for copying, moving, and deleting files, and
# more.
#
# See the method descriptions below, and consider using +fileutils+ as it is more
# comprehensive.
