NAME

Test::File -- test file attributes

SYNOPSIS

use Test::File;

DESCRIPTION

This modules provides a collection of test utilities for file attributes.

Some file attributes depend on the owner of the process testing the file in the same way the file test operators do. For instance, root (or super-user or Administrator) may always be able to read files no matter the permissions.

Some attributes don't make sense outside of Unix, either.
