SYNOPSIS

     use Filesys::Cap qw(fs_has_attr_x fs_is_ci fs_is_cs fs_can_symlink);
    
     say "Filesystem has x attribute"     if fs_has_attr_x();
     say "Filesystem is case-insensitive" if fs_is_ci("/tmp");
     say "Filesystem is case-sensitive"   if fs_is_cs("/tmp");
     say "Filesystem can do symlinks"     if fs_can_symlink("/tmp");

FUNCTIONS

 fs_has_attr_x([ $dir ]) => bool

    Return true if filesystem has x attribute, meaning it can have files
    that pass -x Perl file test operator as well as files that fail it.
    This is done by actually creating two temporary files under $dir, one
    chmod-ed to 0644 and one to 0755 and test the two files.

    If $dir is not specified, will use a temporary directory created by
    tempdir().

    Will return undef on failure (e.g.: permission denied, etc).

 fs_is_ci([ $dir ]) => bool

    Return true if filesystem is case-insensitive, meaning it is impossible
    to create two files with the same name but differing case (e.g. "foo"
    and "Foo"). This is done by actually creating two temporary files under
    $dir.

    If $dir is not specified, will use a temporary directory created by
    tempdir().

    Will return undef on failure (e.g.: permission denied, etc).

 fs_is_cs([ $dir ]) => bool

    The opposite of fs_is_ci, will return true if filesystem is
    case-sensitive.

 fs_can_symlink([ $dir ]) => bool

    Return true if filesystem can do symlinks. This is tested by creating
    an actual temporary symlink. Note that this check is performed first:

     return undef unless eval { symlink("",""); 1 };

    If $dir is not specified, will use a temporary directory created by
    tempdir().

    Will return undef on failure (e.g.: permission denied, etc).
