## Files and Directories

A preliminary set of file and directory facilities are provided.

`file-mtime` | `(filename|<str> => <flo>)` | `M`
| return the last modification time of a file in seconds (relative to the n GOOepoch) as a floating point number. |
`file-exists?` | `(filename|<str> => <log>)` | `M`
| return true if and only if a file (or a directory, etc.) exists with the given name. |
`file-type` | `(filename|<str> => <sym>)` | `M`
| return `'file`, `'directory` or some other symbol, depending on the type of the file. |
`create-directory` | `(filename|<str> => <sym>)` | `M`
| create a directory with the given name. The parent directory must already exist, and must contain no item with the given name. |
`parent-directory` | `(name|<str> => <str>)` | `M`
| find the parent directory of the current filename. |
`probe-directory` | `(name|<str> => <str>)` | `M`
| make sure that the named directory exists. |
