//************* QFileInfo

/*!
    \class QFileInfo
    \reentrant
    \brief The QFileInfo class provides system-independent file information.

    \ingroup io
    \ingroup shared

    QFileInfo provides information about a file's name and position
    (path) in the file system, its access rights and whether it is a
    directory or symbolic link, etc. The file's size and last
    modified/read times are also available. QFileInfo can also be
    used to obtain information about a Qt \l{resource
    system}{resource}.

    A QFileInfo can point to a file with either a relative or an
    absolute file path. Absolute file paths begin with the directory
    separator "/" (or with a drive specification on Windows). Relative
    file names begin with a directory name or a file name and specify
    a path relative to the current working directory. An example of an
    absolute path is the string "/tmp/quartz". A relative path might
    look like "src/fatlib". You can use the function isRelative() to
    check whether a QFileInfo is using a relative or an absolute file
    path. You can call the function makeAbsolute() to convert a
    relative QFileInfo's path to an absolute path.

    The file that the QFileInfo works on is set in the constructor or
    later with setFile(). Use exists() to see if the file exists and
    size() to get its size.

    The file's type is obtained with isFile(), isDir() and
    isSymLink(). The symLinkTarget() function provides the name of the file
    the symlink points to.

    On Unix (including Mac OS X), the symlink has the same size() has
    the file it points to, because Unix handles symlinks
    transparently; similarly, opening a symlink using QFile
    effectively opens the link's target. For example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_io_qfileinfo.cpp 0

    On Windows, symlinks (shortcuts) are \c .lnk files. The reported
    size() is that of the symlink (not the link's target), and
    opening a symlink using QFile opens the \c .lnk file. For
    example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_io_qfileinfo.cpp 1

    Elements of the file's name can be extracted with path() and
    fileName(). The fileName()'s parts can be extracted with
    baseName(), suffix() or completeSuffix(). QFileInfo objects to
    directories created by Qt classes will not have a trailing file
    separator. If you wish to use trailing separators in your own file
    info objects, just append one to the file name given to the constructors
    or setFile().

    The file's dates are returned by created(), lastModified() and
    lastRead(). Information about the file's access permissions is
    obtained with isReadable(), isWritable() and isExecutable(). The
    file's ownership is available from owner(), ownerId(), group() and
    groupId(). You can examine a file's permissions and ownership in a
    single statement using the permission() function.

    \section1 Performance Issues

    Some of QFileInfo's functions query the file system, but for
    performance reasons, some functions only operate on the
    file name itself. For example: To return the absolute path of
    a relative file name, absolutePath() has to query the file system.
    The path() function, however, can work on the file name directly,
    and so it is faster.

    \note To speed up performance, QFileInfo caches information about
    the file.

    To speed up performance, QFileInfo caches information about the
    file. Because files can be changed by other users or programs, or
    even by other parts of the same program, there is a function that
    refreshes the file information: refresh(). If you want to switch
    off a QFileInfo's caching and force it to access the file system
    every time you request information from it call setCaching(false).
