Detailed Description

Types and functions for filesystem operations.

Todo:

move zypp::filesystem stuff into separate header

Add tmpfile and tmpdir handling.

think about using Exceptions in zypp::filesystem

provide a readdir iterator; at least provide an interface using an insert_iterator to be independent from std::container.

Note:: Paths are exchanged using rename, so take care both paths are located on the same filesystem.

 Pathname configfile( "/etc/myconfig" );
 TmpFile  newconfig( TmpFile::makeSibling( configfile ) );
 // now write the new config:
 std::ofstream o( newconfig.path().c_str() );
 o << "mew values << endl;
