+# An object of class \Dir represents a directory in the underlying file system.
+#
+# It consists mainly of:
+#
+# - A string _path_, given when the object is created,
+# that specifies a directory in the underlying file system;
+# method #path returns the path.
+# - A collection of string <i>entry names</i>,
+# each of which is the name of a directory or file in the underlying file system;
+# the entry names may be retrieved
+# in an {array-like fashion}[rdoc-ref:Dir@Dir+As+Array-Like]
+# or in a {stream-like fashion}[rdoc-ref:Dir@Dir+As+Stream-Like].
+#
+# == About the Examples
+#
+# Some examples on this page use this simple file tree:
+#
+# example/
+# ├── config.h
+# ├── lib/
+# │ ├── song/
+# │ │ └── karaoke.rb
+# │ └── song.rb
+# └── main.rb
+#
+# Others use the file tree for the
+# {Ruby project itself}[https://github.com/ruby/ruby].
+#
+# == \Dir As \Array-Like
+#
+# A \Dir object is in some ways array-like:
+#
+# - It has instance methods #children, #each, and #each_child.
+# - It includes {module Enumerable}[rdoc-ref:Enumerable@Whats+Here].
+#
+# == \Dir As Stream-Like
+#
+# A \Dir object is in some ways stream-like.
+#
+# The stream is initially open for reading,
+# but may be closed manually (using method #close),
+# and will be closed on block exit if created by Dir.open called with a block.
+# The closed stream may not be further manipulated,
+# and may not be reopened.
+#
+# The stream has a _position_, which is the index of an entry in the directory:
+#
+# - The initial position is zero (before the first entry).
+# - Method #tell (aliased as #pos) returns the position.
+# - Method #pos= sets the position (but ignores a value outside the stream),
+# and returns the position.
+# - Method #seek is like #pos=, but returns +self+ (convenient for chaining).
+# - Method #read, if not at end-of-stream, reads the next entry and increments
+# the position;
+# if at end-of-stream, does not increment the position.
+# - Method #rewind sets the position to zero.
+#
+# Examples (using the {simple file tree}[rdoc-ref:Dir@About+the+Examples]):
+#
+# dir = Dir.new('example') # => #<Dir:example>
+# dir.pos # => 0
+#
+# dir.read # => "."
+# dir.read # => ".."
+# dir.read # => "config.h"
+# dir.read # => "lib"
+# dir.read # => "main.rb"
+# dir.pos # => 5
+# dir.read # => nil
+# dir.pos # => 5
+#
+# dir.rewind # => #<Dir:example>
+# dir.pos # => 0
+#
+# dir.pos = 3 # => 3
+# dir.pos # => 3
+#
+# dir.seek(4) # => #<Dir:example>
+# dir.pos # => 4
+#
+# dir.close # => nil
+# dir.read # Raises IOError.
+#
+# == What's Here
+#
+# First, what's elsewhere. Class \Dir:
+#
+# - Inherits from {class Object}[rdoc-ref:Object@Whats+Here].
+# - Includes {module Enumerable}[rdoc-ref:Enumerable@Whats+Here],
+# which provides dozens of additional methods.
+#
+# Here, class \Dir provides methods that are useful for:
+#
+# - {Reading}[rdoc-ref:Dir@Reading]
+# - {Setting}[rdoc-ref:Dir@Setting]
+# - {Querying}[rdoc-ref:Dir@Querying]
+# - {Iterating}[rdoc-ref:Dir@Iterating]
+# - {Other}[rdoc-ref:Dir@Other]
+#
+# === Reading
+#
+# - #close: Closes the directory stream for +self+.
+# - #pos=: Sets the position in the directory stream for +self+.
+# - #read: Reads and returns the next entry in the directory stream for +self+.
+# - #rewind: Sets the position in the directory stream for +self+ to the first entry.
+# - #seek: Sets the position in the directory stream for +self+
+# the entry at the given offset.
+#
+# === Setting
+#
+# - ::chdir: Changes the working directory of the current process
+# to the given directory.
+# - ::chroot: Changes the file-system root for the current process
+# to the given directory.
+#
+# === Querying
+#
+# - ::[]: Same as ::glob without the ability to pass flags.
+# - ::children: Returns an array of names of the children
+# (both files and directories) of the given directory,
+# but not including <tt>.</tt> or <tt>..</tt>.
+# - ::empty?: Returns whether the given path is an empty directory.
+# - ::entries: Returns an array of names of the children
+# (both files and directories) of the given directory,
+# including <tt>.</tt> and <tt>..</tt>.
+# - ::exist?: Returns whether the given path is a directory.
+# - ::getwd (aliased as #pwd): Returns the path to the current working directory.
+# - ::glob: Returns an array of file paths matching the given pattern and flags.
+# - ::home: Returns the home directory path for a given user or the current user.
+# - #children: Returns an array of names of the children
+# (both files and directories) of +self+,
+# but not including <tt>.</tt> or <tt>..</tt>.
+# - #fileno: Returns the integer file descriptor for +self+.
+# - #path (aliased as #to_path): Returns the path used to create +self+.
+# - #tell (aliased as #pos): Returns the integer position
+# in the directory stream for +self+.
+#
+# === Iterating
+#
+# - ::each_child: Calls the given block with each entry in the given directory,
+# but not including <tt>.</tt> or <tt>..</tt>.
+# - ::foreach: Calls the given block with each entry in the given directory,
+# including <tt>.</tt> and <tt>..</tt>.
+# - #each: Calls the given block with each entry in +self+,
+# including <tt>.</tt> and <tt>..</tt>.
+# - #each_child: Calls the given block with each entry in +self+,
+# but not including <tt>.</tt> or <tt>..</tt>.
+#
+# === Other
+#
+# - ::mkdir: Creates a directory at the given path, with optional permissions.
+# - ::new: Returns a new \Dir for the given path, with optional encoding.
+# - ::open: Same as ::new, but if a block is given, yields the \Dir to the block,
+# closing it upon block exit.
+# - ::unlink (aliased as ::delete and ::rmdir): Removes the given directory.
+# - #inspect: Returns a string description of +self+.
