Static methods
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.
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.
