# Lucy::Store::Folder(3pm)

Abstract class representing a directory.

## NAME

Lucy::Store::Folder - Abstract class representing a directory.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    # Abstract base class.
```

## DESCRIPTION

A "file" within a Folder might be a real file on disk -- or it might be a RAM buffer.  Similarly, *delete()* might delete a file from the file system, or a key-value pair from a hash, or something else.

The archetypal implementation of Folder, FSFolder, represents a directory on the file system holding a collection of files.

## INHERITANCE

Lucy::Store::Folder isa Lucy::Object::Obj.
