Files and Directories

Application programs often need to read their input from a file and write their output to a file. It should be possible to select the files, change the working directory, and so on, over a menu. The header file <LEDA/system/file.h> declares functions, like

string get_directory()

list<string> get_files(string dir)

create_directory(string fname)

bool delete_file(string fname)

and many more, to work with files and directories conveniently.
