Detailed Description

A platform independent way to obtain the timestamp of a file.

This is a support class for the directory_tree.

Implements a list of filenames.

This is based on an amorph so that adding to the list is efficient. The underlying type held is actually a file_info rather than a filename. This should not impose much extra overhead.

Note: this is a heavyweight header; it shouldn't be used in other headers.

This class has been exported from directory_tree's implementation to avoid redundant code for iteration and such. Note: this is a heavy-weight header that should not be included in other headers.
