Standard Path Operations

    import scalax.file.Path
    import java.net.{URI,URL}

    val path: Path = Path("file")
    // There are two ways to query about the access mode of the underlying
    // path object.  One is similar to the java.file.File.  The other is based
    // a single query to test several attributes at once.

    // first the java.file.File way
    val executable: Boolean = path.canExecute
    val readable: Boolean = path.canRead
    val writable: Boolean = path.canWrite

    // next check if file is read and write

    import Path.AccessModes._

    val readWrite: Boolean = path.checkAccess(Read, Write)

    val uri: URI = path.toURI
    val url: URL = path.toURL

    val exists: Boolean = path.exists
    val notExists: Boolean = path.nonExistent

    val hidden: Boolean = path.isHidden
    val isSymLink: Boolean = path.isSymlink

    // query last modified information
    val lastModified: Long = path.lastModified
    path.lastModified = System.currentTimeMillis

    val length = path.size

    // A way to test if path is a file/directory without using the matchers
    val isFile: Boolean = path.isFile
    val isDirectory: Boolean = path.isDirectory
