Democritus functions for working with files and directories.

Democritus File System (Files and Directories)

Democritus functions^[1] for working with files and directories.

[1] Democritus functions are simple, effective, modular, well-tested, and well-documented Python functions.

We use d8s as an abbreviation for democritus (you can read more about this here).
