+1. Definitions
+
+In this Licence, the following terms have the following meaning:
+
+- ‘The Licence’: this Licence.
+
+- ‘The Original Work’: the work or software distributed or communicated by the
+	Licensor under this Licence, available as Source Code and also as Executable
+	Code as the case may be.
+
+- ‘Derivative Works’: the works or software that could be created by the
+	Licensee, based upon the Original Work or modifications thereof. This Licence
+	does not define the extent of modification or dependence on the Original Work
+	required in order to classify a work as a Derivative Work; this extent is
+	determined by copyright law applicable in the country mentioned in Article 15.
+
+- ‘The Work’: the Original Work or its Derivative Works.
+
+- ‘The Source Code’: the human-readable form of the Work which is the most
+	convenient for people to study and modify.
+
+- ‘The Executable Code’: any code which has generally been compiled and which is
+	meant to be interpreted by a computer as a program.
+
+- ‘The Licensor’: the natural or legal person that distributes or communicates
+	the Work under the Licence.
+
+- ‘Contributor(s)’: any natural or legal person who modifies the Work under the
+	Licence, or otherwise contributes to the creation of a Derivative Work.
+
+- ‘The Licensee’ or ‘You’: any natural or legal person who makes any usage of
+	the Work under the terms of the Licence.
+
+- ‘Distribution’ or ‘Communication’: any act of selling, giving, lending,
+	renting, distributing, communicating, transmitting, or otherwise making
+	available, online or offline, copies of the Work or providing access to its
+	essential functionalities at the disposal of any other natural or legal
+	person.
+
+2. Scope of the rights granted by the Licence
+
+The Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
+sublicensable licence to do the following, for the duration of copyright vested
+in the Original Work:
+
+- use the Work in any circumstance and for all usage,
+- reproduce the Work,
+- modify the Work, and make Derivative Works based upon the Work,
+- communicate to the public, including the right to make available or display
+	the Work or copies thereof to the public and perform publicly, as the case may
+	be, the Work,
+- distribute the Work or copies thereof,
+- lend and rent the Work or copies thereof,
+- sublicense rights in the Work or copies thereof.
+
+Those rights can be exercised on any media, supports and formats, whether now
+known or later invented, as far as the applicable law permits so.
+
+In the countries where moral rights apply, the Licensor waives his right to
+exercise his moral right to the extent allowed by law in order to make effective
+the licence of the economic rights here above listed.
+
+The Licensor grants to the Licensee royalty-free, non-exclusive usage rights to
+any patents held by the Licensor, to the extent necessary to make use of the
+rights granted on the Work under this Licence.
+
+3. Communication of the Source Code
+
+The Licensor may provide the Work either in its Source Code form, or as
+Executable Code. If the Work is provided as Executable Code, the Licensor
+provides in addition a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Work
+along with each copy of the Work that the Licensor distributes or indicates, in
+a notice following the copyright notice attached to the Work, a repository where
+the Source Code is easily and freely accessible for as long as the Licensor
+continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
+
+4. Limitations on copyright
+
+Nothing in this Licence is intended to deprive the Licensee of the benefits from
+any exception or limitation to the exclusive rights of the rights owners in the
+Work, of the exhaustion of those rights or of other applicable limitations
+thereto.
+
+5. Obligations of the Licensee
+
+The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and
+obligations imposed on the Licensee. Those obligations are the following:
+
+Attribution right: The Licensee shall keep intact all copyright, patent or
+trademarks notices and all notices that refer to the Licence and to the
+disclaimer of warranties. The Licensee must include a copy of such notices and a
+copy of the Licence with every copy of the Work he/she distributes or
+communicates. The Licensee must cause any Derivative Work to carry prominent
+notices stating that the Work has been modified and the date of modification.
+
+Copyleft clause: If the Licensee distributes or communicates copies of the
+Original Works or Derivative Works, this Distribution or Communication will be
+done under the terms of this Licence or of a later version of this Licence
+unless the Original Work is expressly distributed only under this version of the
+Licence — for example by communicating ‘EUPL v. 1.2 only’. The Licensee
+(becoming Licensor) cannot offer or impose any additional terms or conditions on
+the Work or Derivative Work that alter or restrict the terms of the Licence.
+
+Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes or Communicates Derivative
+Works or copies thereof based upon both the Work and another work licensed under
+a Compatible Licence, this Distribution or Communication can be done under the
+terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this clause, ‘Compatible
+Licence’ refers to the licences listed in the appendix attached to this Licence.
+Should the Licensee's obligations under the Compatible Licence conflict with
+his/her obligations under this Licence, the obligations of the Compatible
+Licence shall prevail.
+
+Provision of Source Code: When distributing or communicating copies of the Work,
+the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or indicate
+a repository where this Source will be easily and freely available for as long
+as the Licensee continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
+
+Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade names,
+trademarks, service marks, or names of the Licensor, except as required for
+reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and
+reproducing the content of the copyright notice.
+
+6. Chain of Authorship
+
+The original Licensor warrants that the copyright in the Original Work granted
+hereunder is owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
+power and authority to grant the Licence.
+
+Each Contributor warrants that the copyright in the modifications he/she brings
+to the Work are owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
+power and authority to grant the Licence.
+
+Each time You accept the Licence, the original Licensor and subsequent
+Contributors grant You a licence to their contributions to the Work, under the
+terms of this Licence.
+
+7. Disclaimer of Warranty
+
+The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous
+Contributors. It is not a finished work and may therefore contain defects or
+‘bugs’ inherent to this type of development.
+
+For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an ‘as is’ basis
+and without warranties of any kind concerning the Work, including without
+limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence of defects
+or errors, accuracy, non-infringement of intellectual property rights other than
+copyright as stated in Article 6 of this Licence.
+
+This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part of the Licence and a condition
+for the grant of any rights to the Work.
+
+8. Disclaimer of Liability
+
+Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural
+persons, the Licensor will in no event be liable for any direct or indirect,
+material or moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the use
+of the Work, including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work
+stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss of data or any commercial
+damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damage.
+However, the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability laws as
+far such laws apply to the Work.
+
+9. Additional agreements
+
+While distributing the Work, You may choose to conclude an additional agreement,
+defining obligations or services consistent with this Licence. However, if
+accepting obligations, You may act only on your own behalf and on your sole
+responsibility, not on behalf of the original Licensor or any other Contributor,
+and only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless
+for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against such Contributor by
+the fact You have accepted any warranty or additional liability.
+
+10. Acceptance of the Licence
+
+The provisions of this Licence can be accepted by clicking on an icon ‘I agree’
+placed under the bottom of a window displaying the text of this Licence or by
+affirming consent in any other similar way, in accordance with the rules of
+applicable law. Clicking on that icon indicates your clear and irrevocable
+acceptance of this Licence and all of its terms and conditions.
+
+Similarly, you irrevocably accept this Licence and all of its terms and
+conditions by exercising any rights granted to You by Article 2 of this Licence,
+such as the use of the Work, the creation by You of a Derivative Work or the
+Distribution or Communication by You of the Work or copies thereof.
+
+11. Information to the public
+
+In case of any Distribution or Communication of the Work by means of electronic
+communication by You (for example, by offering to download the Work from a
+remote location) the distribution channel or media (for example, a website) must
+at least provide to the public the information requested by the applicable law
+regarding the Licensor, the Licence and the way it may be accessible, concluded,
+stored and reproduced by the Licensee.
+
+12. Termination of the Licence
+
+The Licence and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon
+any breach by the Licensee of the terms of the Licence.
+
+Such a termination will not terminate the licences of any person who has
+received the Work from the Licensee under the Licence, provided such persons
+remain in full compliance with the Licence.
+
+13. Miscellaneous
+
+Without prejudice of Article 9 above, the Licence represents the complete
+agreement between the Parties as to the Work.
+
+If any provision of the Licence is invalid or unenforceable under applicable
+law, this will not affect the validity or enforceability of the Licence as a
+whole. Such provision will be construed or reformed so as necessary to make it
+valid and enforceable.
+
+The European Commission may publish other linguistic versions or new versions of
+this Licence or updated versions of the Appendix, so far this is required and
+reasonable, without reducing the scope of the rights granted by the Licence. New
+versions of the Licence will be published with a unique version number.
+
+All linguistic versions of this Licence, approved by the European Commission,
+have identical value. Parties can take advantage of the linguistic version of
+their choice.
+
+14. Jurisdiction
+
+Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties,
+
+- any litigation resulting from the interpretation of this License, arising
+	between the European Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies, as a
+	Licensor, and any Licensee, will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court
+	of Justice of the European Union, as laid down in article 272 of the Treaty on
+	the Functioning of the European Union,
+
+- any litigation arising between other parties and resulting from the
+	interpretation of this License, will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
+	of the competent court where the Licensor resides or conducts its primary
+	business.
+
+15. Applicable Law
+
+Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties,
+
+- this Licence shall be governed by the law of the European Union Member State
+	where the Licensor has his seat, resides or has his registered office,
+
+- this licence shall be governed by Belgian law if the Licensor has no seat,
+	residence or registered office inside a European Union Member State.
+
+Appendix

 ## Codable

+`Path` conforms to `Codable`:
 
 ```swift
 try JSONEncoder().encode([Path.home, Path.home/"foo"])
@@ -57,35 +68,71 @@ try JSONEncoder().encode([Path.home, Path.home/"foo"])

-However, often you want to encode relative paths:
+`Paths` can be encoded as *relative* paths‡:
 
 ```swift
 let encoder = JSONEncoder()
 encoder.userInfo[.relativePath] = Path.home
-encoder.encode([Path.home, Path.home/"foo"])

+    "../baz"

-**Note** make sure you decode with this key set *also*, otherwise we `fatal`
-(unless the paths are absolute obv.)
+**Note** if you encode with this key set you *must* decode with the key
+set also:
 
 ```swift
 let decoder = JSONDecoder()
 decoder.userInfo[.relativePath] = Path.home
-decoder.decode(from: data)
+try decoder.decode(from: data)  // would throw if `.relativePath` not set

+> the directory could change at Apple’s choice, or if say the user changes their
+> username. Using relative paths also provides you with the flexibility in
+> future to change where you are storing your files without hassle.
+
+## Dynamic members
+
+`Path` supports `@dynamicMemberLookup`:
+
+```swift
+let ls = Path.root.usr.bin.ls  // => /usr/bin/ls
+```
+
+This is provided for “starting” functions only, eg. `Path.home` or `Bundle.path`.
+Allowing arbitrary property access only in special cases is a precaution.
+
+### Pathish
+
+`Path`, and `DynamicPath` (the result of eg. `Path.root`) both conform to
+`Pathish` which is a protocol that contains all pathing functions. Thus if
+you create objects from a mixture of both you need to create generic
+functions or convert any `DynamicPath`s to `Path` first:
+
+```swift
+let path1 = Path("/usr/lib")!
+let path2 = Path.root.usr.bin
+var paths = [Path]()
+paths.append(path1)        // fine
+paths.append(path2)        // error
+paths.append(Path(path2))  // ok
+```
+
+This is inconvenient but as Swift stands there’s nothing we can think of
+that would help.
+

 ## Directory listings
 
-We provide `ls()`, called because it behaves like the Terminal `ls` function,
-the name thus implies its behavior, ie. that it is not recursive.
+`Path` provides `ls()` to list files. Like `ls` it is not recursive and doesn’t
+list hidden files.
 
 ```swift
-for entry in Path.home.ls() {
-    print(entry.path)
-    print(entry.kind)  // .directory or .file
-}
-
-for entry in Path.home.ls() where entry.kind == .file {
+for path in Path.home.ls() {
     //…
 }
 
-for entry in Path.home.ls() where entry.path.mtime > yesterday {
+for path in Path.home.ls() where path.isFile {

 }

+for path in Path.home.ls() where path.mtime > yesterday {
     //…
 }
 
-let swiftFiles = Path.home.ls().files(withExtension: "swift")
+let dirs = Path.home.ls().directories
+// ^^ directories that *exist*
+
+let files = Path.home.ls().files
+// ^^ files that both *exist* and are *not* directories
+
+let swiftFiles = Path.home.ls().files.filter{ $0.extension == "swift" }
+
+let includingHiddenFiles = Path.home.ls(.a)
 ```
 
+**Note** `ls()` does not throw, instead outputing a warning to the console if it
+fails to list the directory. The rationale for this is weak, please open a
+ticket for discussion.
+
+`Path` provides `find()` for recursive listing:
+
+```swift
+for path in Path.home.find() {
+    // descends all directories, and includes hidden files by default
+    // so it behaves the same as the terminal command `find`
+}
+```
+
+It is configurable:
+
+```swift
+for path in Path.home.find().depth(max: 1).extension("swift").type(.file).hidden(false) {
+    //…
+}
+```
+
+It can be controlled with a closure syntax:
+
+```swift
+Path.home.find().depth(2...3).execute { path in
+    guard path.basename() != "foo.lock" else { return .abort }
+    if path.basename() == ".build", path.isDirectory { return .skip }
+    //…
+    return .continue
+}
+```
+
+Or get everything at once as an array:
+
+```swift
+let paths = Path.home.find().map(\.self)
+```
+
+# `Path.swift` is robust
+
+Some parts of `FileManager` are not exactly idiomatic. For example
+`isExecutableFile` returns `true` even if there is no file there, it is instead
+telling you that *if* you made a file there it *could* be executable. Thus we
+check the POSIX permissions of the file first, before returning the result of
+`isExecutableFile`. `Path.swift` has done the leg-work for you so you can just
+get on with it and not have to worry.
+
+There is also some magic going on in Foundation’s filesystem APIs, which we look
+for and ensure our API is deterministic, eg. [this test].
+
+[this test]: https://github.com/astzweig/swiftpm-pathkit/blob/master/Tests/PathTests/PathTests.swift#L539-L554
+
+# `PathKit` is properly cross-platform
+
+`FileManager` on Linux has a lot of pitfalls, which this library works around on.
+
 # Rules & Caveats
 
-Paths are just string representations, there *might not* be a real file there.
+`Paths` are just (normalized) string representations, there *might not* be a real
+file there.
 
 ```swift
-Path.home/"b"      // => /Users/mxcl/b
+Path.home/"b"      // => /Users/someuser/b
 
 // joining multiple strings works as you’d expect
-Path.home/"b"/"c"  // => /Users/mxcl/b/c
+Path.home/"b"/"c"  // => /Users/someuser/b/c
 
-// joining multiple parts at a time is fine
-Path.home/"b/c"    // => /Users/mxcl/b/c
+// joining multiple parts simultaneously is fine
+Path.home/"b/c"    // => /Users/someuser/b/c
 
 // joining with absolute paths omits prefixed slash
-Path.home/"/b"     // => /Users/mxcl/b
+Path.home/"/b"     // => /Users/someuser/b
+
+// joining with .. or . works as expected
+Path.home.foo.bar.join("..")  // => /Users/someuser/foo
+Path.home.foo.bar.join(".")   // => /Users/someuser/foo/bar
+
+// though note that we provide `.parent`:
+Path.home.foo.bar.parent      // => /Users/someuser/foo
 
 // of course, feel free to join variables:
 let b = "b"
 let c = "c"
-Path.home/b/c      // => /Users/mxcl/b/c
+Path.home/b/c      // => /Users/someuser/b/c
 
 // tilde is not special here
 Path.root/"~b"     // => /~b
 Path.root/"~/b"    // => /~/b
 
 // but is here
-Path("~/foo")!     // => /Users/mxcl/foo
+Path("~/foo")!     // => /Users/someuser/foo
 
-// this does not work though
+// this works provided the user `Guest` exists
+Path("~Guest")     // => /Users/Guest
+
+// but if the user does not exist
 Path("~foo")       // => nil
+
+// paths with .. or . are resolved
+Path("/foo/bar/../baz")  // => /foo/baz
+
+// symlinks are not resolved
+Path.root.bar.symlink(as: "foo")
+Path("/foo")        // => /foo
+Path.root.foo       // => /foo
+
+// unless you do it explicitly
+try Path.root.foo.readlink()  // => /bar
+                              // `readlink` only resolves the *final* path component,
+                              // thus use `realpath` if there are multiple symlinks
 ```
 
+*PathKit* has the general policy that if the desired end result preexists,
+then it’s a noop:
+
+* If you try to delete a file, but the file doesn't exist, nothing happens.
+* If you try to make a directory and it already exists, nothing happens.
+* If you call `readlink` on a non-symlink, we return `self`
+
+However notably if you try to copy or move a file without specifying `overwrite`
+and the file already exists at the destination and is identical, *PathKit* doesn't check
+for that as the check was deemed too expensive to be worthwhile.
+
+## Symbolic links
+
+* Two paths may represent the same *resolved* path yet not be equal due to
+    symlinks in such cases you should use `realpath` on both first if an
+    equality check is required.
+* There are several symlink paths on Mac that are typically automatically
+    resolved by Foundation, eg. `/private`, we attempt to do the same for
+    functions that you would expect it (notably `realpath`), we *do* the same
+    for `Path.init`, but *do not* if you are joining a path that ends up being
+    one of these paths, (eg. `Path.root.join("var/private')`).
+
+If a `Path` is a symlink but the destination of the link does not exist `exists`
+returns `false`. This seems to be the correct thing to do since symlinks are
+meant to be an abstraction for filesystems. To instead verify that there is
+no filesystem entry there at all check if `type` is `nil`.
+
+
+## There is no change directory functionality
+
+Changing directory is dangerous, you should *always* try to avoid it and thus
+we don’t even provide the method. If you are executing a sub-process then
+use `Process.currentDirectoryURL` to change *its* working directory when it
+executes.
+
+If you must change directory then use `FileManager.changeCurrentDirectory` as
+early in your process as *possible*. Altering the global state of your app’s
+environment is fundamentally dangerous creating hard to debug issues that
+you won‘t find for potentially *years*.
+
+# I thought I should only use `URL`s?
+
+Apple recommend this because they provide a magic translation for
+[file-references embodied by URLs][file-refs], which gives you URLs like so:
+
+    file:///.file/id=6571367.15106761
+
+Therefore, if you are not using this feature you are fine. If you have URLs the
+correct way to get a `Path` is:
+
+```swift
+if let path = Path(url: url) {
+    /*…*/
+}
+```
+
+Our initializer calls `path` on the URL which resolves any reference to an
+actual filesystem path, however we also check the URL has a `file` scheme first.
+
+[file-refs]: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsurl/1408631-filereferenceurl
+
+# In defense of our naming scheme
+
+Chainable syntax demands short method names, thus we adopted the naming scheme
+of the terminal, which is absolutely not very “Apple” when it comes to how they
+design their APIs, however for users of the terminal (which *surely* is most
+developers) it is snappy and familiar.

- Represents a platform filesystem absolute path.
+ A `Path` represents an absolute path on a filesystem.
 
- The recommended conversions from string are:
+ All functions on `Path` are chainable and short to facilitate doing sequences
+ of file operations in a concise manner.
+
+ `Path` supports `Codable`, and can be configured to
+ [encode paths *relatively*](https://github.com/mxcl/Path.swift/#codable).
+
+ Sorting a `Sequence` of paths will return the locale-aware sort order, which
+ will give you the same order as Finder.
+
+ Converting from a `String` is a common first step, here are the recommended
+ ways to do that:
 
      let p1 = Path.root/pathString
      let p2 = Path.root/url.path
      let p3 = Path.cwd/relativePathString
      let p4 = Path(userInput) ?? Path.cwd/userInput
 
- - Note: There may not be an actual filename at the path.
+ If you are constructing paths from static-strings we provide support for
+ dynamic members:
+
+     let p1 = Path.root.usr.bin.ls  // => /usr/bin/ls
+
+ However we only provide this support off of the static members like `root` due
+ to the anti-pattern where Path.swift suddenly feels like Javascript otherwise.
+
+ - Note: A `Path` does not necessarily represent an actual filesystem entry.
+ - SeeAlso: `Pathish` for most methods you will use on `Path` instances.
