class File
package sys.io
API for reading and writing files.
See sys.FileSystem for the complementary file system API.
Static methods
staticappend(path:String, binary:Bool = true):FileOutput
Similar to sys.io.File.write, but appends to the file if it exists
instead of overwriting its contents.
staticcopy(srcPath:String, dstPath:String):Void
Copies the contents of the file specified by srcPath to the file
specified by dstPath.
If the srcPath does not exist or cannot be read, or if the dstPath
file cannot be written to, an exception is thrown.
If the file at dstPath exists, its contents are overwritten.
If srcPath or dstPath are null, the result is unspecified.
staticgetBytes(path:String):Bytes
Retrieves the binary content of the file specified by path.
If the file does not exist or can not be read, an exception is thrown.
sys.FileSystem.exists can be used to check for existence.
If path is null, the result is unspecified.
staticgetContent(path:String):String
Retrieves the content of the file specified by path as a String.
If the file does not exist or can not be read, an exception is thrown.
sys.FileSystem.exists can be used to check for existence.
If path is null, the result is unspecified.
staticread(path:String, binary:Bool = true):FileInput
Returns an FileInput handle to the file specified by path.
If binary is true, the file is opened in binary mode. Otherwise it is
opened in non-binary mode.
If the file does not exist or can not be read, an exception is thrown.
Operations on the returned FileInput handle read on the opened file.
File handles should be closed via FileInput.close once the operation
is complete.
If path is null, the result is unspecified.
staticsaveBytes(path:String, bytes:Bytes):Void
Stores bytes in the file specified by path in binary mode.
If the file cannot be written to, an exception is thrown.
If path or bytes are null, the result is unspecified.
staticsaveContent(path:String, content:String):Void
Stores content in the file specified by path.
If the file cannot be written to, an exception is thrown.
If path or content are null, the result is unspecified.
staticupdate(path:String, binary:Bool = true):FileOutput
Similar to sys.io.File.append. While append can only seek or write
starting from the end of the file's previous contents, update can
seek to any position, so the file's previous contents can be
selectively overwritten.
staticwrite(path:String, binary:Bool = true):FileOutput
Returns an FileOutput handle to the file specified by path.
If binary is true, the file is opened in binary mode. Otherwise it is
opened in non-binary mode.
If the file cannot be written to, an exception is thrown.
Operations on the returned FileOutput handle write to the opened file.
If the file existed, its previous content is overwritten.
File handles should be closed via FileOutput.close once the operation
is complete.
If path is null, the result is unspecified.
