Box[io\file]

A native file handle.

make

io\file:.make: (path string, permissions string) :: file io\file

Create a file.

len

file.len: () :: int

Returns the length of a file.

stream\send

streamable.stream\send: bytes binary :: (success (status ok:, value nil:) | failure (status err:, message string))

Write bytes to a file.

See the streamable protocol for details.

stream\recv

streamable.stream\recv: (n int | default nil:) :: (success (status ok:, value binary) | failure (status err:, message string))

Read bytes from a file.

If you omit ‘amount’, then will return whatever bytes are immediately available.

Even for files on disk, recv with no amount isn’t guaranteed to return the whole file.

See the streamable protocol for details.
