Example

//Creating paths (nothing is changed on disk)
FilePath file = (FilePath)@"C:\Hello\World";
DirPath directory = file.Parent; // C:\Hello
RelFilePath relative = file - directory; // World
relative = relative.AppendPath(".txt"); // World.txt
DirPath otherDirectory = (DirPath)@"C:\New";
FilePath newFile = otherDirectory + relative; // C:\New\World.txt
FilePath pdfFile = newFile.GetWithExtension("pdf"); // C:\New\World.pdf
DirPath otherDir = otherDirectory.CombineDir("Strong", "Typed"); // C:\New\Strong\Typed
FilePath otherFile = otherDir.CombineFile("Test.txt"); // C:\New\Strong\Typed\Test.txt

//Exploring disk
IEnumerable<FilePath> files = directory.GetFiles("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
IEnumerable<DirPath> directories = directory.GetDirectories();
var baseName = file.NameWithoutExtension;
bool fileExists = file.Exists();
bool dirExists = directory.Exists();

//Operations on disk
directory.CreateDirectory();
file.DeleteFile();
file.WriteAllText("Hello World");
file.ClearReadOnlyAttribute();
file.SetLastWriteTimeUtc(DateTime.UtcNow);
directory.DeleteDir();
file.Move(pdfFile);
newFile.CopyTo(otherFile);
var newTarget = newFile.CopyTo(otherDir); // otherDir + newFile.Name;
otherDir.CopyDirectory(otherDirectory);

//Use path as a string
File.ReadAllBytes(file.Path);
