+# FS (filesystem) module
+
+This module provides functions to inspect the file system. It is
+available starting with version 0.53.0.

+## File lookup rules
+
+Non-absolute paths are looked up relative to the directory where the
+current `meson.build` file is.
+
+### exists

+name exists on the file system. This can be a file, directory or a
+special entry such as a device node.
+
+### is_dir
+
+Takes a single string argument and returns true if a directory with
+that name exists on the file system. This method follows symbolic
+links.
+
+### is_file
+

+name exists on the file system. This method follows symbolic links.
+
+### is_symlink

+The new `fs` module can be used to examine the contents of the current
+file system.
+
+```meson
+fs = import('fs')
+assert(fs.exists('important_file'),
+       'The important file is missing.')
+```
