# 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>
## 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
For a full list of available matchers please visit our [matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
