//    First checked in on 98/11/20 by John R. McMullen in the wrong directory.
//    Checked in again 98/12/04.
//    Polished version 98/12/08.

//========================================================================================
//
//  Classes defined:
//
//      nsFilePath, nsFileURL, nsFileSpec, nsPersistentFileDescriptor
//      nsDirectoryIterator.
//
//  Q.  How should I represent files at run time?
//  A.  Use nsFileSpec.  Using char* will lose information on some platforms.
//
//  Q.  Then what are nsFilePath and nsFileURL for?
//  A.  Only when you need a char* parameter for legacy code.
//
//  Q.  How should I represent files in a persistent way (eg, in a disk file)?
//  A.  Use nsPersistentFileDescriptor.  Convert to and from nsFileSpec at run time.
//
//  This suite provides the following services:
//
//      1.  Encapsulates all platform-specific file details, so that files can be
//          described correctly without any platform #ifdefs
//
//      2.  Type safety.  This will fix the problems that used to occur because people
//          confused file paths.  They used to use const char*, which could mean three
//          or four different things.  Bugs were introduced as people coded, right up
//          to the moment Communicator 4.5 shipped.
//
//      3.  Used in conjunction with nsFileStream.h (q.v.), this supports all the power
//          and readability of the ansi stream syntax.
//
//          Basic example:
//
//              nsFilePath myPath("/Development/iotest.txt");
//
//              nsOutputFileStream testStream(nsFileSpec(myPath));
//              testStream << "Hello World" << nsEndl;
//
//      4.  Handy methods for manipulating file specifiers safely, e.g. MakeUnique(),
//          SetLeafName(), Exists().
//
//      5.  Easy cross-conversion.
//
//          Examples:
//
//              Initialize a URL from a string
//
//                  nsFileURL fileURL("file:///Development/MPW/MPW%20Shell");
//
//              Initialize a Unix-style path from a URL
//
//                  nsFilePath filePath(fileURL);
//
//              Initialize a file spec from a URL
//
//                  nsFileSpec fileSpec(fileURL);
//
//              Make the spec unique.
//
//                  fileSpec.MakeUnique();
//
//              Assign the spec to a URL (causing conversion)
//
//                  fileURL = fileSpec;
//
//              Assign a unix path using a string
//
//                  filePath = "/Development/MPW/SysErrs.err";
//
//              Assign to a file spec using a unix path (causing conversion).
//
//                  fileSpec = filePath;
//
//              Make this unique.
//
//                  fileSpec.MakeUnique();
//
//      6.  Fixes a bug that have been there for a long time, and
//          is inevitable if you use NSPR alone, where files are described as paths.
//
//          The problem affects platforms (Macintosh) in which a path does not fully
//          specify a file, because two volumes can have the same name.  This
//          is solved by holding a "private" native file spec inside the
//          nsFilePath and nsFileURL classes, which is used when appropriate.
