/// A reference to a file on the file system.
///
/// A `File` holds a [path] on which operations can be performed.
/// You can get the parent directory of the file using [parent],
/// a property inherited from [FileSystemEntity].
///
/// Create a new `File` object with a pathname to access the specified file on the
/// file system from your program.
/// ```dart
/// var myFile = File('file.txt');
/// ```
/// The `File` class contains methods for manipulating files and their contents.
/// Using methods in this class, you can open and close files, read to and write
/// from them, create and delete them, and check for their existence.
///
/// When reading or writing a file, you can use streams (with [openRead]),
/// random access operations (with [open]),
/// or convenience methods such as [readAsString],
///
/// Most methods in this class occur in synchronous and asynchronous pairs,
/// for example, [readAsString] and [readAsStringSync].
/// Unless you have a specific reason for using the synchronous version
/// of a method, prefer the asynchronous version to avoid blocking your program.
///
/// ## If path is a link
///
/// If [path] is a symbolic link, rather than a file,
/// then the methods of `File` operate on the ultimate target of the
/// link, except for [delete] and [deleteSync], which operate on
/// the link.
///
/// ## Read from a file
///
/// The following code sample reads the entire contents from a file as a string
/// using the asynchronous [readAsString] method:
/// ```dart
/// import 'dart:async';
/// import 'dart:io';
///
/// void main() {
///   File('file.txt').readAsString().then((String contents) {
///     print(contents);
///   });
/// }
/// ```
/// A more flexible and useful way to read a file is with a [Stream].
/// Open the file with [openRead], which returns a stream that
/// provides the data in the file as chunks of bytes.
/// Read the stream to process the file contents when available.
/// You can use various transformers in succession to manipulate the
/// file content into the required format, or to prepare it for output.
///
/// You might want to use a stream to read large files,
/// to manipulate the data with transformers,
/// or for compatibility with another API, such as [WebSocket]s.
/// ```dart
/// import 'dart:io';
/// import 'dart:convert';
/// import 'dart:async';
///
/// void main() async {
///   final file = File('file.txt');
///   Stream<String> lines = file.openRead()
///     .transform(utf8.decoder)       // Decode bytes to UTF-8.
///     .transform(LineSplitter());    // Convert stream to individual lines.
///   try {
///     await for (var line in lines) {
///       print('$line: ${line.length} characters');
///     }
///     print('File is now closed.');
///   } catch (e) {
///     print('Error: $e');
///   }
/// }
/// ```
/// ## Write to a file
///
/// To write a string to a file, use the [writeAsString] method:
/// ```dart
/// import 'dart:io';
///
/// void main() async {
///   final filename = 'file.txt';
///   var file = await File(filename).writeAsString('some content');
///   // Do something with the file.
/// }
/// ```
/// You can also write to a file using a [Stream]. Open the file with
/// [openWrite], which returns an [IOSink] to which you can write data.
/// Be sure to close the sink with the [IOSink.close] method.
/// ```dart
/// import 'dart:io';
///
/// void main() {
///   var file = File('file.txt');
///   var sink = file.openWrite();
///   sink.write('FILE ACCESSED ${DateTime.now()}\n');
///
///   // Close the IOSink to free system resources.
///   sink.close();
/// }
/// ```
/// ## The use of asynchronous methods
///
/// To avoid unintentional blocking of the program,
/// several methods are asynchronous and return a [Future]. For example,
/// the [length] method, which gets the length of a file, returns a [Future].
/// Wait for the future to get the result when it's ready.
/// ```dart
/// import 'dart:io';
///
/// void main() async {
///   final file = File('file.txt');
///
///   var length = await file.length();
///   print(length);
/// }
/// ```
/// In addition to length, the [exists], [lastModified], [stat], and
/// other methods, are asynchronous.
///

///   section of the library tour.
