FileIO Class

The FileIO class is a subclass of the IO class. Only elements of the FileIO class that extend or override the parent class are listed here. Only files of up to 2 GiB in size are supported by this class.

Methods

fun int open(string path[, int flags]) 

Opens the specified file, returning true on success and false otherwise. The flags can optionally be used to specify the mode in which to open the file (FileIO.MODE_READ_WRITE by default).

fun void seek(int pos) 

Seeks to the specified byte offset from the start of the file.

fun int size() 

Returns the size of the file in bytes, or -1 if a file is not open.

Directories

fun int isDir() 

Returns true if the opened file is a directory, false otherwise.

fun string[] dirList() 

Returns an array containing the names of each file in the opened directory, or an empty array if the opened file is not a directory.

FileIO.MODE_READ_WRITE
FileIO.MODE_READONLY
FileIO.MODE_WRITEONLY
