# directory
Use the `directory` InSpec audit resource to test if the file type is a directory. This is equivalent to using the `file` resource and the `be_directory` matcher, but provides a simpler and more direct way to test directories.
<br>
## Availability
### Installation
This resource is distributed along with InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
### Version
This resource first became available in v1.0.0 of InSpec.
## Syntax
A `directory` resource block declares the location of the directory to be tested, and then one (or more) matchers.
describe directory('path') do
its('property') { should cmp 'value' }
end
<br>
## Properties
All of the properties available to `file` may be used with `directory`.
<br>
## Matchers
