It now sorts each path into one of three kinds:\n\n- a folder\n\n- a special file, such as a socket or a named pipe (files that programs use to pass data to each other, not to store it)\n\n- anything else\n\nIt then reports the paths that are not folders and the special files as two separate lists.\n\n**Why**\n\nSpecial files can now be reported apart from ordinary files.\n\n- Area: File Attachments\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
