Dirb (pronounced like "derby") is a system for creating and managing complex directory structures.

Here are some things that you can do with dirb:

1. You can represent your directory structure in the form of a "schema document."
2. Using this document, you can conduct searches on your directory structure using database-like queries to find locations.
3. You can create new directories using the schema, by making calls to a server. The server will automatically set permissions on the new directories based on the attributes in the schema. Calls to the server are authenticated and secure.

Dirb was born from the requirements of the visual effects and animation communities to manage massive file system resources. It will continue to evolve to serve those applications better.

Dirb is not an end-user product. It is a python API. You will need a team member who can work in python to effectively use dirb in your environment.
