Folder Class

Folder.

Description

The Folder class contains methods and attributes common to Folder objects. A Folder object corresponds to a directory or folder.

Also included in this class are all attributes and methods within the FileSystem class, as those apply to Folders as well as Files.

Note that the difference between the Folder Class and Folder Object is that the class attributes and methods require no specific instance of a Folder, whereas class methods and attributes do.
