Class
    Foam::fileName

Description
    A class for handling file names.

    A fileName is a string of characters without whitespace or quotes.
    A fileName can be
      - constructed from a char*, a string or a word
      - concatenated by adding a '/' separator
      - decomposed into the path, name or component list
      - interrogated for type and access mode

    The string::expand() method expands environment variables, etc,
