This module implements path handling like os module but works at only compile-time. This module works even when cross compiling to OS that is not supported by os module.

# Types

    PathComponent = enum
      pcFile,                   ## path refers to a file
      pcLinkToFile,             ## path refers to a symbolic link to a file
      pcDir,                    ## path refers to a directory
      pcLinkToDir                ## path refers to a symbolic link to a directory

  Enumeration specifying a path component.

# Procs

    proc staticDirExists(dir: string): bool {.compileTime, ...raises: [], tags: [],
        forbids: [].}

  Returns true if the directory `dir` exists. If `dir` is a file, false is returned. Follows symlinks. Source Edit

    proc staticFileExists(filename: string): bool {.compileTime, ...raises: [],
        tags: [], forbids: [].}

  Returns true if `filename` exists and is a regular file or symlink.

  Directories, device files, named pipes and sockets return false.

  Source Edit

    proc staticWalkDir(dir: string; relative = false): seq[
        tuple[kind: PathComponent, path: string]] {.compileTime, ...raises: [],
        tags: [], forbids: [].}

  Walks over the directory `dir` and returns a seq with each directory or file in `dir`. The component type and full path for each item are returned.

  Walking is not recursive.

  - If `relative` is true (default: false) the resulting path is shortened to be relative to `dir`, otherwise the full path is returned.
