filesystr: Functionality for processing file system ressources
In rappster/filesystr: Functionality for processing file system ressources

Complements base functionality with respect to handling paths of file system ressources.

DirectoryPath.S3:

Constructor function for instances of class DirectoryPath.S3
FilePath.S3:

Constructor function for instances of class FilePath.S3
DecomposedPath.S3:

Constructor function for instances of class DecomposedPath.S3
DirectoryCopyResult.S3:

Constructor function for instances of class DirectoryCopyResult.S3
DirectoryCopyResults.S3:

Constructor function for instances of class DirectoryCopyResults.S3

asDirectoryPath:

Clearly denotes a path to a directory ressource (provided as character) as an actual directory path of class DirectoryPath.S3. The main reason behind this is to enable method dispatch based on this class.
asFilePath:

Clearly denotes a path to a file ressource (provided as character) as an actual file path of class FilePath.S3. The main reason behind this is to enable method dispatch based on this class.
asDecomposedPath:

Clearly denotes a path to a file system ressource (provided as character) as an actual decomposed path of class DecomposedPath.S3. The main reason behind this is to enable method dispatch based on this class.

decomposePath:

Decomposes directory and file paths into three components: directory, filename and extension
recomposePath:

Recomposes objects as returned by decomposePath back into a character vector.
copyDirectory:

Extends the features of file.copy.

getDirectoryPath:

Based on the output of decomposePath the directory component is selected.
getFileName:

Based on the output of decomposePath the filename component is selected.
getFileExtension:

Based on the output of decomposePath the extension component is selected.
standardizePath:

Extends the features of normalizePath.

The following functions can be used to lock and unlock files and directories.

lockRessource:

Locks a file system ressource by creating a temporary dummy file that denotes a is locked state.
tryLockRessource:

Tries a certain amount of times to lock a file system ressource until it times out.
unlockRessource:

Unlocks a file system ressource previously locked by lockRessource.
tryunLockRessource:

Tries a certain amount of times to unlock a file system ressource until it times out.
isLockedkRessource:

Checks if a file system ressource is locked.

openRessource:

Opens a ressource with a suitable application. For directories this is the system's default file system browser. For files the user is asked to select a suitable application (only tested on Windows so far).
