API for reading and writing files.

See sys.FileSystem for the complementary file system API.

Static methods

@:has_untyped@:value({ binary : true })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.
