pox provides a collection of utilities for navigating and manipulating
filesystems. This module is designed to facilitate some of the low level
operating system interactions that are useful when exploring a filesystem
on a remote host, where queries such as *"what is the root of the filesystem?"*,
*"what is the user's name?"*, and *"what login shell is preferred?"* become
essential in allowing a remote user to function as if they were logged in
locally. While ``pox`` is in the same vein of both the ``os`` and ``shutil``
builtin modules, the majority of its functionality is unique and compliments
these two modules.
