The term `Documents' is used to refer to the files that have been indexed,
as opposed to the files that make up the actual database.
Functions in the Database/Files category thus deal with accessing and
manipulating the files in the lq-text database directory
($LQTEXTDIR).
The functions in this category are at a low level; usually, there is a higher level routine that will do what you want, unless you are modifying the internals of liblqtext, or are writing complex database update code.
Note that the category Utilities/Files also exists, and provides functions such as LQU_IsDir for determining whether a given string is the name of a directory.
